Rosemary & Thyme Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (2 sticks) salted butter
  • 4 sprigs thyme, plus more leaves to garnish
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 (10-oz) bags marshmallows, plus 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 4 cups corn flakes cereal
  • 1 cup pecan pieces
  • Flaky salt, to garnish

Directions

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the herbs and keep cooking, stirring constantly, until it foams and the milk solids caramelize (brown butter).
  • Remove the herbs, add the marshmallows, and stir constantly until melted.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the cereals and pecans, then stir in the mini marshmallows.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined 9×9 baking dish and press into an even layer (use a piece of parchment to press, it's hot).
  • Garnish with more thyme leaves and flaky salt; let cool.
  • Cut into squares and serve.
