Servings: 10 people
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 2 tbsp dry milk powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 12 oz bag marshmallows can use a bag of mini marshmallows instead
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- flaky sea salt for topping optional
Instructions
- In a large stockpot, melt butter over medium heat. Add salt and keep cooking, stirring occasionally, as butter starts to bubble. When butter is a very light brown and starting to foam, add the dry milk powder.
- Continue stirring and cooking butter and milk powder until the solution turns a medium brown. Immediately turn heat down to medium-low and quickly add the marshmallows and condensed milk.
- Stir over low heat until marshmallows have melted. Do NOT let it bubble. If mixture is getting too hot, you can turn off the stove and let the residual heat melt the marshmallows.
- When everything is melted and mixed together, add the cereal. Stir gently to combine.
- Pour Rice Krispies into a greased and lined 9x13" pan. Flatten and press down gently with a spatula and lightly sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using.
- Cover and let cool down at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles for serving. Leftovers keep in an airtight container at room temperature.
