Brown butter rice krispies treats are an easy no-bake recipe for fall. It's your favorite childhood treat with the addition of brown butter and warm fall spices.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and stir constantly. Butter will begin to foam and boil. After about 4 to 5 minutes you will see brown flecks appear in the bottom of the pan. Continue to stir until butter is golden and flecks are a medium brown color. Watch closely, butter will brown quickly. Process will take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove butter from heat and add marshmallows, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir until marshmallows are almost completely melted. Add Rice Krispies cereal and gently stir until evenly coated.
Using a spatula, press cereal mixture firmly into 9x13 pan. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
