Instructions
1. Pour 2 cups of fine-grain salt into a large pan over high heat. Allow the salt to get VERY hot. Once hot, pour in the par-boiled rice, starting with just a tablespoon. Working quickly, stir the rice in the hot salt; it should start puffing up within a few seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the puffed rice from the salt and set it aside. Repeat this process until all your rice is puffed. 2. Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a small nonstick pan on medium heat. Melt the butter and stir it frequently until light brown bits start to form and the butter browns slightly at the bottom. Remove from heat. 3. In a large nonstick pan, add in the 2 cups of mini marshmallows plus the browned butter. Melt the marshmallows down, then add in the reserved puffed rice. Mix to evenly combine until you have a gooey Rice Krispies Treat-like mixture. 4. Grease a small baking pan and press the puffed rice mixture into it to form a rectangle. Allow to set, then cut into squares. 5. Optional: Microwave some Biscoff cookie butter in a microwaveable bowl for 30 seconds. Drizzle on top of the puffed rice treat. Enjoy!View original recipe
