Brown Butter Pumpkin Spice Cheerio Treats
These brown butter pumpkin spice cheerio treats are one of the fastest, easiest fall treats you can make! All you need is 3 ingredients and about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 stick Salted Butter paper kept to the side
- 1 10 oz bag Marshmallows 1 handful kept to the side
- 6 cups Pumpkin Spice Cheerios
Instructions
- Add salted butter to a large nonstick pot over medium heat. Do not throw the butter wrapper away - set it aside for later.
- Stir the butter until melted.
- Once melted, it will start to foam up and turn clear-ish - at this point, make sure to keep stirring and watching as the butter begins to brown.
- After a few minutes, it will start to smell nutty and the color will turn to a warm brown color.
- At this point, you’ll want to add the marshmallows - reserving a handful for later.
- Stir in the marshmallows and turn the heat to low. Once they're melted and combined, stir in the cheerios. Do not overcook the marshmallows because they'll get rock hard.
- Quickly mix everything together until all the cheerios are coated in the brown butter marshmallow mixture. Then add in the reserved handful of marshmallows and stir once more.
- Add a sheet of crumbled parchment paper to a baking dish then rub the paper that the butter came in along the parchment paper to help the treats from sticking.
- Quickly and carefully pour the treat mixture into the lined baking dish.
- Next, grease your hands with the butter paper and carefully (if not too hot) pat down the treat mixture so it has a flat, even surface.
- Let cook for a few minutes before digging in.
