Salted or unsalted butter. Unless the recipe specifies, you should always use unsalted butter. Note that salted butter does brown more quickly than unsalted butter. Perfectly browned. Using a lighter-colored pan to cook the butter will help you better see when the yellow butter takes on a browned color. You can also tell because it will give off a nutty aroma. Another indicator is that it will foam a bit and white milk solids will separate and fall to the bottom of the pan. The milk solids are what become toasted and create “Brown Butter”. Brown sediment. As the nut butter cooks you will notice “sediment” at the bottom of the pan. This is good unless you overcook the butter. The sediments can quickly go from a toasty brown to a burnt brown. If this happens pour the browned butter through a mesh strainer. The larger burnt flakes will get caught. The rest of the browned butter can be used in the recipe.
How to Make Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats
How to Store
STORE rice crispy treats in an airtight container, at room temperature, to be enjoyed for 2-3 days before they begin to harden. FREEZE. For longer storage tightly wrap each treat with plastic and place them into a freezer-safe storage container for 4-6 weeks. Thaw before eating. They will not be as soft after being frozen, but still delicious.
