Spray a 13 X 9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add the butter to a small saucepan. Melt on a low heat. Every 15 seconds swirl your butter to help it melt. Keep swirling the pan until the milk solids start to bubble to the top. (These are the white parts of the butter that pop up to the top). After about 5-10 minutes, watch the color of your butter, it will begin to turn brown. Once your butter turns brown, remove it from the heat. In an extra large mixing bowl, add the mini marshmallows. Pour the brown butter over the mini marshmallows.
Using a microwave, working in 15-30 second intervals, melt the marshmallows and the butter together. You will need to do this several times until everything is combined and smooth. Make sure to mix the gooey marshmallows and the browned butter each time you remove it from the microwave.
Add the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal to the bowl. Stir quickly to coat the cereal. You want to make sure you have the cereal fully coated in the marshmallow mixture before it starts to harden. Trust me, this mixture will harden quickly. So don't take that phone call or respond to that text. STIR.
For the last step, pour the Brown Butter Cinnamon Toast Crunch Rice Krispy Treats into the prepared 13 X 9 baking dish. Spread them out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap, and allow them to set for 1 hour. Or if you are anything like me, you say: "Forget the whole waiting for an hour, how about 5 min?" Whatever your preference, slice and enjoy!
