Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1.5 bags mini marshmallows divided (1 bag and .5 bag separately)
  • 6 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 Can Dulce de Leche

Instructions

  • Line an 8×8 square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, add butter. Turn heat to medium and let the
  • butter melt. As the butter begins the browning process, it will start to sputter and
  • foam. Continue stirring with a nonstick spatula to ensure even heat. It will take
  • anywhere from 5-9 minutes for the butter to go from golden brown to a deeper
  • brown. Normally, we would wait for the butter to fully brown, but in this case it will
  • keep cooking with the marshmallows, so when it turns golden brown, add the full
  • bag of mini marshmallows.
  • Turn the heat to LOW. Let the marshmallows and butter cook until they are
  • completely melted and run off the spatula.
  • Add in the Rice Krispies, salt, and cinnamon. Mix to combine. Remove from heat
  • and add in the remaining half bag of mini marshmallows. Mix again to distribute.
  • Scoop half of the mixture into the prepared pan and press down lightly with a
  • greased nonstick spatula.
  • Dollop the dulce de leche on top of the Rice Krispies layer and spread with an
  • offset spatula.
  • Place the remaining half of the mixture on top of the dulce de leche layer and
  • press down slightly (don’t pack it down too much or it won’t be as gooey!).
