Rice krispies treats used to be my nemesis. I could never get them right, even when following the recipe on the side of the box that millions of others can master with one hand tied behind their backs. Mine were invariably hard and dense as hockey pucks, certainly not something you'd take to a bake sale let alone eat yourself. But one recipe came to my rescue -- the salted browned butter rice crispy treats from Smitten Kitchen. The extra butter keeps them soft and easy to press into the pan, and did I mention that the butter is browned? They're crazy good. Even people who say they don't like rice krispies treats like these. I've made them countless times but it was only recently that I had that aha moment to add toffee bits (and a bit more sea salt to keep the salty-sweet in balance). The result is way too good not to share.
