Measure out the rice krispies cereal in a large bowl. Pour the melted marshmallows over the rice krispies and mix well.
6 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Add in the remaining marshmallows while still warm.
10 Cups Mini Marshmallows
Lightly press about half of the rice krispies mixture into your prepared pan (see note). Flatten it down so it is even in the pan and then spread the dulce de leche all over the rice krispies in an even layer.
1/2 Can Dulce de Leche
Top with the rest of the rice krispies mixture and lightly press it around until it is evenly spread into the pan. Let it set at room temperature until cooled.
Notes
We made this batch of RKTs with Cinnamon Sugar Rice Krispies and it was amazing. If you can’t find them at the store, you could add 1/4 – 1/3 cup of cinnamon sugar.
Browning butter: Place a light colored pan over medium heat and add room temperature butter. Stir it gently as it melts. It will begin to foam and sizzle and then you will see little brown fleck forming on the bottom of the pan. As soon as you see those flecks, remove the pan from the heat.
Using a spoon with a little butter on it will help you press the rice krispies into the pan without it sticking all over your hands.
Rice Krispie treats can be stored in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 2-3 days. Or they can be frozen for up to 6 weeks.
