Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Salted Butter Browned
  • 1 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 10 oz Mini Marshmallows plus an extra 5-10 oz for added gooeyness (optional)
  • 12 oz Box Crisped Riced Cereal

Instructions
 

Step 1: Brown the Butter

  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring often, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 4–5 minutes). Be careful not to burn it!

Step 2: Make the Caramel

  • Add the coconut sugar and milk to the browned butter. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer, cooking until the mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon (about 3–5 minutes).

Step 3: Melt the Marshmallows

  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in 10 oz of mini marshmallows until smooth and fully melted.

Step 4: Add the Cereal

  • Remove from heat and gently fold in the crisped rice cereal until evenly coated. If you want extra gooey treats, mix in an additional 5–10 oz of mini marshmallows at this stage.

Step 5: Press & Cool

  • Line a 9x13-inch dish with parchment paper and press the mixture evenly into the pan. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
