Brown butter dulce de leche Rice Krispie treats begin as classic Rice Krispie treats but are taken to a whole new level! The nutty flavor of the brown butter combined with the creamy sweetness of the caramel, all enveloping the crunch of the cereal… I’m confident in saying these will be the best Rice Krispie treats you’ve ever had!

🥄 In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat.
🥣 Add sweetened condensed milk, light corn syrup, and sea salt to the pot. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and turns a caramel color.
🥄 Stir in dulce de leche and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
🌾 Add mini marshmallows to the pot, stirring until they are completely melted and incorporated into the caramel mixture.
🥣 Remove pot from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
🥄 Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, pressing down lightly to create an even layer.
🌾 Let the treats cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes 💡:

🍬 For an extra touch, sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top before the treats cool.
🥄 Store in an airtight container for up to a week for maximum freshness.
