Butterscotch Rice Krispie Treats

These bars were super simple to make, and SO good. I love regular homemade Rice Krispie treats, but these are next level the addition of two simple ingredients (browned butter + butterscotch chips). The fam loved them too. They were gone in no time. 

Butterscotch Rice Krispie Treats
adapted from Mel's Kitchen Cafe

½ cup (113 g) salted butter

16 ounces (454 g) large or small marshmallows 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
8 cups (227 g) crisp rice cereal, like Rice Krispies
½ cup (85 g) butterscotch chips

1.  Butter the bottom and sides of a 9X13-inch pan. Set aside.

2.  In a large saucepan, melt the butter on low heat and let it cook until the solids start to turn golden brown and fragrant. Add the marshmallows and cook on low, stirring constantly until mostly melted, a few small lumps here and there are ok. Add the vanilla and salt and stir to combine.

3.  Remove the pan from the heat and add the rice Krispies and butterscotch chips. Stir until evenly combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and using lightly greased hands or a silicone spatula, lightly press the mixture into the pan (don't smash them down too much or they will be dense). Let cool before slicing into squares.
