Golden Graham Rice Krispie Treats
Sweet and salty Rice Krispie Treats made with crispy rice cereal, Golden Grahams cereal, and extra marshmallows for a soft, gooey texture.
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (16-ounce) bag marshmallows, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups Golden Grahams cereal, coarsely crushed
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Melt the butter in large pot over medium heat until melted. Reduce heat to low.
- Add the marshmallows, reserving 1 cup, along with the salt. Stir until the marshmallows are almost completely melted. Stir in the vanilla extract and continue stirring until smooth.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the crushed Golden Grahams, rice cereal and remaining 1 cup of marshmallows. Stir until the cereals are evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased or lined 9×13-inch pan and gently press into an even layer. Let cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Coarsely Crushed Golden Grahams: Place the cereal in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin or the back of a measuring cup to coarsely crush it. You want a mix of larger pieces and smaller crumbs.
Brown Butter: Optional, but adds flavor. To brown butter, cook the butter until fragrant and small brown specks appear, watching closely because it can quickly go from browned to burnt.
