1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Brown the Butter with Sage
-
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Add sage leaves and cook until butter turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma (3–5 minutes). Remove sage leaves if desired.
2. Melt the Marshmallows
-
Reduce heat to low and add marshmallows to the brown butter.
-
Stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
-
Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
3. Combine with Cereal
-
Remove from heat and add Rice Krispies cereal.
-
Stir quickly until evenly coated with the brown butter marshmallow mixture.
4. Set and Serve
-
Press mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan or lined with parchment paper.
-
Use a buttered spatula or parchment to flatten evenly.
-
Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
Sage flavor: For a subtle herbal note, use fewer leaves; for stronger flavor, leave leaves in.
Extra crunch: Add toasted pecans or walnuts into the mixture.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Make-ahead: Can be prepared a day in advance and cut just before serving.
