Lookin’ to try something deliciously different? How about a yummy twist on a classic sweet delight? Aromatic, chewy, maple-y, buttery, lick-your-fingers-good. No kidding, these treats did not stand a chance when I put them out for our friends to try. There was a lot of gushing – they are that good.
Ingredients
- 1 stick (8 T) butter
- 1/4 cup Sapwood maple syrup (dark or very dark works best)
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 1 10-oz bag mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
Process
Place the butter in a large pot over medium heat and melt it. Keep it on the burner. It will froth and begin to brown. Once it starts to smell a bit nutty and reaches a rich amber color, remove the pot from heat.
Add the maple syrup – it will bubble like mad.
Add marshmallows. Stir them in until they melt. This is faster with the mini marshmallows but use any kind you like.
Add salt and nutmeg and fold them into the marshmallow mixture as well.
It is important to keep stirring through the entire cooking process.
Pour on the cereal and fold it into the marshmallow mixture until it’s all
thoroughly coated.
Press the treats into a buttered 8×8 pan.
Let them cool and set for at least an hour or so. Cut into squares, serve, watch them disappear.
