Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

  • Butter (or coat with non-stick spray) a 9x13 glass baking dish with 2-inch sides.
  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and finally start to turn brown and smell nutty. Stir frequently, scraping up any bits from the bottom as you do.
