Step-by-step
- Mix together the cereal and salt in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a small pot, melt the butter under medium heat and keep on heat until it's browned. It'll bubble and froth, but once it turns kind of a light amber colour (kind of like caramel), take it off the heat.
- The heat from the butter will be enough to melt the marshmallows, melt the marshmallows in the same pot until they're all meltified and lovely.
- Pour marshmallow and butter mixture over the cereal and mix until everything is incorporated.
- Press into a parchment paper-lined 9x9 pan (or buttered pan).
- Chill in the fridge for about an hour to cut.
