Instructions

Grease and line a 9 x 13 pan with wax paper or foil along the bottom and two sides of the pan.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat until it starts to foam. Stir frequently until the butter smells nutty and has brown bits at the bottom.
Add the marshmallows to the browned butter and stir continuously on low heat until mostly melted. Remove from heat.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Add the rice krispie cereal, pour in the melted marshmallows, and stir until combined. Add 2 cups of reserved mini marshmallows.
Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan and gently press down. Let it set for 30-60 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Make sure to stir the butter constantly to avoid burning.
Allowing the treats to set is crucial for the best texture.
You can add other mix-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles if desired.
