My sister is the Queen of Rice Krispies Treats. Rice Krispies treats were the first thing she learned to make as a child. Because it was an inexpensive treat, my Mom was more happy to purchase a box of Rice Krispies and marshmallows. It quickly became a beloved summer treat for me and my siblings, and I still get excited when my sister announces that she’s making a round of treats.

When brainstorming new recipes with my sister, we came up with an upgraded, grownup version of our childhood favorite but this time made with browned butter, coconut chips, and a not-so subtle splash of bourbon.
