BROWNED BUTTER KRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Pour the Rice Krispies into a very large wok, reserving the box and bag. (If you don't have a wok, pull out the largest pot you've got.) Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat as needed, until the cereal has turned slightly darker brown and tastes toasted. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Place the butter in the wok and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring and swirling the pan frequently, until the butter melts, foams, and turns light golden brown.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the marshmallows. Cook, now stirring with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth. Stir in the salt.
• Reduce the heat all the way to low and add the Rice Krispies back to the wok. Stir gently until all of the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture, then remove from the heat.
• Spray the inside of the now-empty cereal bag with non-stick oil spray, then carefully pack the Rice Krispie mixture into the bag. Let cool before eating straight from the box.

PERFECT RICE IN A RUSH

Steps:

• Pour the water into an electric kettle. Place the butter into a medium saucepan and set over high heat. Gently jiggle until the bubbling ceases and the butter just begins to brown. Flip on the electric kettle. Add the rice and salt to the saucepan and stir constantly until the kettle clicks off or the rice begins to brown, whichever comes first. Carefully add the water to the pan, stir and cover with a lid. Decrease the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, let stand for 5 minutes, and uncover. Fluff with a fork and serve.

• Lightly coat the inside of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch metal pan with oil and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Once the marshmallows are melted, quickly add the toasted brown rice, almonds, and fruit and stir to combine. Coat your hands or a spatula with oil and spread the mixture evenly into the pan. Once the mixture has cooled completely, cut into squares and store in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days.

SALTED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIE TREATS (RICE CRISPY)

Steps:

• Butter, or coat with non-stick spray, an 8-inch square cake pan with 2-inch sides.
• In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and finally start to turn brown and smell nutty. Stir frequently, scraping up any bits from the bottom as you do. Don't take your eyes off the pot as while you may be impatient for it to start browning, the period between the time the butter begins to take on color and the point where it burns is often less than a minute.
• As soon as the butter takes on a nutty color, turn the heat off and stir in the marshmallows. The residual heat from the melted butter should be enough to melt them, but if it is not, turn it back on low until the marshmallows are smooth.
• Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the salt and cereal together. Quickly spread into prepared pan. Use a piece of waxed or parchment paper sprayed with oil to press it firmly and evenly into the edges and corners.
• Let cool then cut into squares.
