Description
These Brown Butter Scotcheroos with Marshmallows are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavor of browned butter with crispy cereal and delicious marshmallows. Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and easy to make!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 6 ounces fluff
- 5 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 7 cups cereal of choice (mix of flakey cereal and rice krispies is recommended)
- 8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- flakey salt (optional)
Instructions
- Measure and prepare all ingredients in advance since the process moves quickly once the butter is browned.
- Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
- Brown the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Cook until it bubbles, crackles, and turns a golden brown. Keep a close eye on it!
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the marshmallow fluff immediately to cool the butter slightly.
- Add the vanilla extract and sea salt, stirring vigorously until the mixture is fully blended. If needed, return to low heat for melting.
- Fold in the cereal gently with a rubber spatula until it’s almost mixed.
- Stir in the mini marshmallows while the mixture remains warm but not too hot to prevent melting.
- Spoon the mixture into muffin cavities, pressing down firmly to form compact cups. Let them cool while preparing the topping.
- Melt the chocolate chips, either in a microwave or a double boiler, and pour a spoonful over each cereal cup, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flakey salt on top for extra flavor, if desired.
- Allow to set at room temperature or in the fridge until firm, usually about an hour. Once solid, pop them out and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure your butter is browned but not burned for the best flavor.
Use a silicone muffin tray for easy removal.
Feel free to mix cereals to customize the texture!
