Torched Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats (Extra Gooey!)

Spray pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper. Make sure the paper hangs over the sides for easy gripping to remove later.
Melt the butter in an oven-safe pan over medium-low heat. Use a light-colored pan if you have one as it's easier to gauge butter as it browns. Swirl the pan continuously or stir with a rubber spatula. Bubbles will form and start to crackle, then foam will appear. Once you see amber specks at the bottom, turn off the heat.
4 tbsp salted butter
Add in the marshmallows and char using a blowtorch, or alternatively broil under the oven for approx 3 minutes.
8 oz marshmallows
Turn stove back on to medium to melt down marshmallows and stir in the rice cereal until evenly coated.
2-3 cups rice cereal
Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Gently pat down cereal evenly using a rubber spatula. Do not press too firmly as that will flatten them. Allow to cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
Lift parchment paper sides and remove from pan to a cutting board. To avoid marshmallows from sticking to the knife, spray nonstick oil spray onto a paper towel and grease knife before cutting into squares.
