Brown Butter Sugar Cookie Rice Krispies

Brown Butter Sugar Cookie Rice Krispies

Servings 15

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 10-ounce package marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup sugar cookie mix
  • 5 cups rice cereal
  • 1/3 cup sprinkles red and green

Instructions

  • Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass dish.
  • In a large, light-colored saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Continue cooking until golden while stirring or swirling the contents of the pan. The butter will foam, then turn golden brown and smell nutty. This will take about 6-8 minutes.
  • Add in the marshmallows and stir until almost melted.
  • Add in sugar cookie mix and stir until combined.
  • Remove from heat and stir in rice cereal.
  • While still warm, stir in the sprinkles. Don’t overmix — you want to still see the festive red and green colors.
  • Pour into prepared dish and let cool.

Notes

Browning the butter will give a caramel flavor. If you would like the sugar cookie flavor to stand out more, just melt the butter instead of browning it.
