Inspired by a TikTok hack for toasting marshmallows, we've elevated the standard 3-ingredient recipe to create the perfect nutty, sweet treat with layers of caramel flavor. These familiar favorites have a deeper, richer flavor than usual between the roasted marshmallows, crispy golden flecks, and rich brown butter. After adjusting the ratios a bit, we're certain you'll love these reimagined treats.

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter
8 cups miniature marshmallows
6 ½ cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Spread the crispy rice cereal evenly onto a large sheet pan. Bake until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the heat to broil.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and grease lightly. Spread mini marshmallows in an even layer on the baking sheet. Broil marshmallows in the oven until puffed up and lightly toasted, being careful not to burn, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large pot on the stovetop (light-colored works best) over medium heat, stirring constantly. Keep stirring as the butter gets foamy, and continue heating until butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, 5 to 8 minutes.
Turn the heat to low and stir in marshmallows until the entire mixture is smooth and consistent. Remove the pot from heat and gently stir in toasted cereal until well coated.
Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the baking dish. Allow to cool in the fridge for 30 minutes, then cut into squares to serve.
