Equipment
- 1 Small icing bottle or a piping bag with a small, round tip optional, but helpful (If you don't have either, you can use a zip top bag and snip a really tiny corner off)
- 1 large sauce pan
- 1 8x8 Baking Dish
Ingredients
Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows usually one bag
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
Decorations
- candy eyes
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 1-2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
Make Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Keep cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma—this usually takes about 5–7 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the mini marshmallows and salt. Continue stirring until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Add the cereal and mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8 or 9x9-inch pan. Use a slightly greased piece of parchment paper between your hand and the treats to gently press and smooth them into an even layer. Let cool completely, then cut into rectangles.
Decorate like Mummies
- Line a baking sheet or work surface with parchment paper and arrange the Rice Krispie rectangles in a single layer.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1–2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each round, until smooth. Melting the coconut oil with the white chocolate from the beginning helps prevent the chocolate from seizing or hardening too quickly.
- Use a small spoon or toothpick to dab a little melted chocolate onto the back of two candy eyeballs. Press them gently onto each Rice Krispie Treat, placing them near the top—this is where your mummy will “peek” out.
- Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or bottle (or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off) fitted with a small, round tip. Drizzle it back and forth across each treat to create a fun, mummy-like effect. Don’t worry about perfection—the uneven look makes it even better!
- Let the chocolate firm up at room temperature for about 20–30 minutes, or pop the tray in the fridge for 10 minutes if you're short on time.
