Recipe: Brown Butter Oreo Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

Recipe: Brown Butter Oreo Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

In less than two weeks I’ll be attending Burning Man for the first time.

On one hand, I’m grateful and looking forward to the adventure. It’s coming at a time where I get to write out a new chapter, blazing new trails and pushing ahead in professional, personal, and romantic matters.

On the other hand, what the F am I doing. I’m slowly learning the ways of the playa, aka having three boxes a day delivered to my office from Amazon Prime and equipping myself with a 720-count of baby wipes. It feels extreme but necessary, as radical self-reliance is expected to be.

It’s no surprise that my contribution to my camp is food—specifically desserts. Eating in the desert is a different ballgame than in the foggy city of San Francisco. Things have to be long-lasting and leave minimal trace. Ideally, they should taste good too, which is what I set out to do here by recreating a childhood classic—rice krispie treats.

There is not a single person in the world who dislikes rice krispie treats, making them an easy way to feed a crowd and evoke good feelings. There is also not a single person who dislikes Oreos and Nutella—I’m pretty sure this is a statistical fact. Combined, they make a dessert that is smooth and crunchy, not to mention easy to clean up, because there will be none left. Throw in some brown butter, and you’ve got yourself a treat ready for the crowd. As for me, I’ll have a treat that’s way more ready for the desert than I am.

  • Prep Time: 20m
  • Cook Time: 10m
  • Total Time: 30m
  • Serves: 20
  • Yield: 20 treats

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces butter
  • 12 ounces sticks butter
  • 10 1/2 ounces bag of marshmallows
  • 12 ounces box of rice krispies cereal
  • 1/2 box of Oreo cookies, lightly crushed
  • 3 tablespoons Nutella

Instructions

  1. Butter a 9 x 13 pan well and set aside.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat until it browns. It should smell nutty and be a deep golden color.
  3. Add in the marshmallows and stir with a wooden spoon until they are almost completely melted.
  4. Pour in the rice krispies cereal, Oreo cookies, and Nutella. Reduce heat to low and stir over low heat until everything is well combined.
  5. Scoop everything into prepared pan and press down tightly. You want it to be really packed in so you can cut them easily later.
  6. Let cool to room temperature before using a long serrated knife to cut.
