First of all brown butter is THE BEST and seriously takes these rice krispie treats to the next level. It gives them a rich, caramel-like nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet, ooey gooey marshmallows and chocolatey Oreo cookies. And it only takes a few minutes to brown the butter before adding in the marshmallows so DON’T SKIP THIS STEP! I’m telling you, the brown butter makes these rice krispie treats incredibly delicious and so irresistible. You’re in for a real treat!

What exactly is brown butter?

Brown butter is the result of cooking down butter until it turns a deep caramelly brown color and gives off a rich, nutty flavor and aroma. As the butter cooks, the milk solids are toasted and begin to carmelize, leaving a rich, sweet flavor that’s irresistibly delicious.

Is Kellogg’s rice krispie cereal gluten free?

The short answer, no. Kellogg’s rice krispie cereal is made with malt flavoring, derived from barley, which is not gluten free. But no need to worry. I’ve been making gluten free ‘rice krispie’ treats for the past 12 years and have found that Chex rice cereal actually makes a better ‘rice krispie’ treat. The Chex rice cereal is crispier than Kellogg’s rice krispie cereal and adds more texture to the treats, but more importantly, it’s gluten free!

Description

Ingredients

Scale

(links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
20 ounces gluten free marshmallows
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch fine sea salt
20 gluten free Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
8 cups (240 grams) gluten free Chex rice cereal

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

step 1

Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with butter, set aside.

step 2

In a large pot, add the butter and place over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted it will begin to crackle and foam. At this time make sure to whisk constantly. After a few minutes, the butter will turn golden brown, have a nutty aroma, and brown specks will form in the bottom of the pot. Turn heat to low, add the marshmallows, and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove pot from heat and add the vanilla extract and salt, stir to combine.

step 3

Add the Chex cereal and chopped Oreo cookies, stir until everything is well coated with the melted marshmallows. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to get everything combined.

step 4

Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press the mixture evenly into the pan using a greased spatula or spoon. Let cool for about an hour before cutting into squares.
