Maple Granola Rice Krispie Treats

I love these maple granola rice krispie treats. These are the perfect treat for any Fall function. The base of the recipe starts with the bold flavor from the brown butter. The rich cinnamon along with the maple extract is the perfect addition with the crunchiness from the rice cereal and granola. Add in some raisins for a fruity bite. These are super easy to make and will be gone in a flash. Read along to see how I made this easy autumn rendition on a classis rice krispie treat.

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 9x9 Casserole Dish
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter
  • 1 10 oz Bag of Mini Marshmallows
  • 4 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal
  • 1 Cup Granola
  • 1 Cup Raisins
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Maple Extract
  • 2 tbsp Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Place your stick of butter in a large pot on medium-low heat. Let it melt completely while stirring the entire time. The melted butter will start to foam on top. Continuing stirring, the butter will start to turn a golden brown. Once the butter is a nice golden, brown color, you will start to smell it. Then, add in about 3/4 of your bag of mini marshmallows and continue to stir until they are completely melted. Save the other 1/4 of the bag for later. Add in your cinnamon to your butter and marshmallow mixture.
  • Once marshmallows are fully melted, remove the pot from the heat and add in your vanilla and maple extracts. Stir them in. Slowly add in your rice cereal one cup at a time. Then slowly fold in the rest of your mini marshmallows, your granola, and your raisins. Fold the mixture gently until it is completely mixed together.
  • Line a 9x9 casserole dish with plastic wrap completely. Pour the mixture into the dish, gently smoothing it out on the top and making it even. Place more plastic wrap on top and gently press down on the treats. Cover completely with a lid or more plastic wrap to make it more airtight. Let it set for at least 3 hours. Remove from dish and plastic wrap and cut into squares of desired size. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
