Step 3: Melt the Marshmallows: Remove the pot from the heat. Quickly add the salt and 8 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir like your life depends on it. Until everything is melted and smooth. If needed, pop it back on the heat for a bit. But keep an eye on it. To avoid burning the butter.
Step 4: Flavor It Up: Stir in the vanilla extract. For that extra touch of flavor.
Step 5: Combine with Cereal: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture. Over your cinnamon-sugar Rice Krispies in a large bowl. Mix well to coat all the cereal. While the mixture is still warm. Add the remaining mini marshmallows for pockets of gooey goodness.
Step 6: Layer and Spread: Press about half of the Rice Krispies mixture. Into your prepared pan. Flatten it out evenly. Then spread the dulce de leche over this layer. Top with the remaining Rice Krispies mixture. And gently press it. Until it’s evenly spread.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy: Let it set at room temperature. Until completely cool. Once set, cut into squares. And enjoy every sweet, buttery bite!
Tip:
For perfectly browned butter. Melt it over medium heat. Stirring constantly. The butter will go through three stages: melting, foaming, and then browning. Watch closely as it begins to turn a golden brown. And emits a nutty aroma. This process usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Once browned. Quickly remove the pot from heat. To prevent burning. This extra step. Adds a deep, rich flavor to your Rice Krispie treats. That is absolutely worth it!
