Five Spice Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats

I decided to give my childhood favorite a flavor boost and don’t worry— they come together as quickly as the original. The nuttiness of brown butter along with sesame and peanuts gives this classic a new and delicious twist that kids and adults alike will devour.
