These are the BEST M&M rice krispie treats! They’re made with brown butter, marshmallow fluff, extra mini marshmallows, mini M&Ms, topped off with moreM&Ms, mini chocolate chips, and flaky sea salt.
13 ounce containermarshmallow fluff (or two 7 ounce containers)
2 ¼-1/2cupsM&Ms candies(mini or regular)
1 ½ tablespoons mini chocolate chips(optional)
flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
Freeze your M&Ms for at least 30 minutes before using, this will help prevent them from melting when added to the warm mixture.
In a large pot, over medium heat, add your butter, melt it, and brown it. Stir it continuously for 8-10 minutes until it has a rich nutty smell, and has a deep amber color.
Set aside 3 cups of marshmallows to mix in later. Add in the remaining marshmallows to the brown butter. Keep stirring until the brown butter and marshmallows are melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla, salt, and marshmallow fluff until mostly smooth.
If your pot is large enough you can do this in the pot, or use a large mixing bowl. Mix the melted marshmallow mixture with the rice krispies cereal, mini marshmallows, and 2 cups of M&Ms (save ¼-½ cup for topping).
Grease a 9x13-inch pan or line with parchment paper. Pour mixture into the pan. Grease your hands with butter or nonstick cooking spray and gently press the rice krispie treat mixture down with your hands until even and smooth.
Top off with ¼-½ cup of M&Ms and mini chocolate chips. Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt over top. Cool for 30-60 minutes before slicing into. Once cool, cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.

Notes
Brown Butter. If you prefer, you can skip browning the butter and just use melted butter instead.
