Rice Krispies Treat Recipe with Brown Butter Bourbon for 16 Servings

Instructions:

1. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the bourbon.
2. Continue cooking while whisking constantly. The mixture will foam and then subside. Look for mahogany-colored milk solids and a nutty aroma. Once deep amber, immediately reduce heat to low.
3. Add 565g of marshmallows (minus a reserved 1 cup) and the fine sea salt. Stir continuously until approximately 90% melted.
4. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to stop the cooking process and prevent the sugars from hardening.
5. Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal and the reserved 1 cup of marshmallows until evenly coated.
6. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 9x9 inch square baking pan. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and allow to cool for 30 minutes before slicing into 16 squares.
