Recipe Review

The lowly Rice Krispie Treat taken to new heights. I actually questioned Joanne Chang's wisdom in including a recipe for this in her book....until I tasted it!

It's amazing what a few simple, but key changes can do to a recipe: replace regular butter with browned butter (and use a lot more of it!), use vanilla bean seeds instead of extract and add a pinch of kosher salt.

They take just a few minutes longer to make than the original recipe - basically the time it takes to brown the butter - so they are still a quick and easy snack that happens to taste fabulous.

This looks similar to a version posted on Smitten Kitchen, and reviewed here. But the SK version doesn't use vanilla bean seeds... such a good idea!

Queezle Sister, I just looked at SK's recipe.....it's the same except for the amount of cereal (Flour's calls for less) and vanilla bean seeds. Judging by the reviews for both recipes, they seem to be universally well liked!

Great! I sure love these - it makes me feel like a kid again ;-)
