I am a professionally trained Culinary and Patisserie chef, and while I don't work in the industry anymore, I still have a passion for cooking. I am creating videos that breakdown technique when possible, and using food science when I have the chance. I'm hoping this show creates in others a passion for food and learning, as well as making a community where people feel comfortable chatting with each other about food.
Rich & Balanced Treats: Revamped Rice Krispies and Peanut Butter Bars
In this episode, I take two classic dessert recipes and elevate them with some simple but game-changing twists. Learn how to make Browned Butter Rice Krispy Treats and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars that are rich, balanced, and perfect for a more discerning palate. These aren't your typical one-note sweet treats-they're full of deep flavors and the perfect touch of salt.
Browned Butter Rice Krispy Treats
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 oz bag of mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon Diamond kosher salt (adjust if using a different brand)
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Extra pinches of kosher salt for topping (optional)
Instructions:
Butter an 11x13 pan.
In a pan over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of butter. Stir frequently until the butter browns to a deep brown color and becomes fragrant and nutty.
Remove from heat and stir in the 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows. Return to heat briefly to ensure all marshmallows melt.
Off the heat, add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and stir.
Pour the melted mixture over 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well incorporated.
Turn the mixture into the buttered pan and gently press into shape using a piece of wax paper.
Optionally, sprinkle extra pinches of kosher salt on top.
Let cool before cutting into squares.
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Ingredients:
1 sleeve of graham crackers (honey, not cinnamon)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup smooth peanut butter (Jif or Skippy, not natural)
1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Extra pinches of kosher salt for topping (optional)
Instructions:
Crush the graham crackers into a fine powder using a rolling pin or a food processor.
In a pan over medium heat, melt and brown 1 cup of butter. Transfer the browned butter to a mixing bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the hot butter.
Stir in 1 cup of smooth peanut butter until fully combined and lump-free.
Add 1 ¾ cups of powdered sugar and stir until well incorporated.
Mix in the crushed graham crackers.
Pour the mixture into a buttered 8x8 pan and spread evenly.
Melt 1 ½ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until just melted. Pour over the peanut butter mixture and spread evenly.
Optionally, sprinkle extra pinches of kosher salt on top.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting into bars.

"Without the anti-gay middle man." That got a chuckle from me.
Maybe a dumb question but I noticed you use real butter on the pans, is it bad to use a spray butter like Pam? 😅
I think spray butter has a funny taste if it isn't cooked. Some people might not taste the difference.
Your face just says it all!!
Can that be considered dry brining. You sprinkled a little salt oger ut and left it a few hours. I ghought it would a rewuire a lot more salt and time. Seems like that is just a marinating process.
You are using words here interchangeably when they aren't interchangeable. A marinade is wet, normally acidic. A dry brine is kosher salt. The time depends on the cut of meat, you can leave it longer but it can achieve the full effect on a cut like this after a few hours. I did not leave it out, I put it in my fridge. The salt level also depends on the thickness of the cut. The thicker the cut of meat the more time and the more salt you need. These were just pork chops that were about 1 inch to 1.5 inches thick. It does not need an intense amount of salt to penetrate.
those both look amazing I gotta at least try the peanut butter one so, if I understood correctly, you don't *like* crunchy peanut butter, but it would work? gonna send this one to my sister and a couple of my coworkers
I think it would work, it just had a different crunch than the graham crackers so it might be texturally somewhat strange. I also find that chunky peanut butter doesn't taste as sweet as creamy. It may take a few tries to balance the sweet flavor.
@@SeasonLiberally thanks! that's very helpful. I'll tell my sister, in case she wants to try it with crunchy, too
I love brown butter. I can't believe I never thought of this. What an awesome idea.
I always add some vanilla and bit of extra salt to my rice krispy treats. Never thought of browned butter though! Will for sure give that a try. Peanut butter and chocolate? Always a winner in my house. Thanks for the tips Cecil!
Is cream bouillabaisse a thing? Could it be a thing? It sounds like it should be a thing
I’ve made peanut butter fudge a million times, but I never thought to add graham crackers to it. 😋
That thumbnail punched me in the face and said YOU LOVE SCOTCHEROOS! LETS SEE IF HE MAKES THEM LIKE YOU! then I saw dark chocolate peanut butter bars?! Hmmmm... Sorry, it looks delicious but I'm not sophisticated enough to enjoy dark chocolate. But imma make it milk chocolate like the unsophisticated heathen that I am The rice Krispies look.... Mmmmmmm mmmm
I've only just heard about scotcheroos recently so I am going to have to try them.
Nice
I was at a rest stop in North Dakota and came across a hybrid of what you have here, peanut butter/marshmallow rice krispy bars topped with chocolate. It killed the diet I was on at the time and I became obsessed with them for a couple of months.
They look delicious!
These both look fantastic, but I'm a peanut butter lover, so I can't wait to try that one in particular!
Here's a comment for the algorithm. Seriously though, love rice crispy treats. Gonna try this.
I do have the same grill that you do. The other day was my wife's birthday. She asked for my ribs, just like Eve. Big Joe ribs, after that Italian beef, man. Just saying.
My wife makes unbelievable baked deserts. She is truly incredible. From scratch, she didn't grow up poor. I always ( nope, not true, I once said) say add a bit of salt. But otherwise, she is incredible. I cook, she bakes. I clean up. Works out alright.
Amazing these were great
Wait! I want a cordless food processor. That's a thing? Of course it is.
You grew up like me, huh? That box cheese cake was the best, and I can't eat that now
Oh damn i think i have the stuff for the peanut butter bars in the cupboard. tomorrows snack.
I'm allergic to peanut butter but that looked good enough to try lol 😋
Cecil these look amazing. Definitely trying them both!
It's literally impossible to make something with powdered sugar without getting some on the counter.
One note my friend add vanilla extract to the rice crispy treats. I usually add two teaspoons but add to your taste. Another note from Alton Brown he suggested toasting the rice crispy in the oven for a few minutes before mixing into the marshmallows and butter
Right on, Cecil!
I love the peanut butter bars, HAVE to try those soon!
Thanks so much! I’ll have to try this with my kid. You rock!
These look amazing! Thank you, Cecil!
I'm going to have to try the browned butter Rice Krispies asap. I started using browned butter in chocolate chip cookies and it's the easiest and best way to make desserts better.
Definitely trying this, and thank you for reminding me about Puppy Chow, I love changing a small thing about an already established recipe, Chocolate chip cookies slightly boring? Throw a dash of cinnamon in there!
I love the salt / sweet balance of these mouthwatering treats! Great demos ❤
😋😋😋
Good thanks
Yeah there’s something almost visceral about how that bundt pan chicken looks.
I don't understand how the suis vide doesn't add more potato flavor than the pressure cooker. You're not losing any of the potato flavor/liquid to water like you do in the pressure cooker. I have heard others describe the more flavor is why they prefer suis vide style.
So happy to see you back, Cecil!
Thanks, Cecil Somethingitalian, I've been debating on getting a sous vide machine and this just confirms my decision. Crunchier pickles? Yes please.
I've done a marinade of buttermilk and pickle brine in a 2 to 1 mix. I would not add any more brine than half the volume of buttermilk. That would be disgusting. If you're want to be sure, do 3 to 1. It comes out pretty good and would be my best guess as to what the jesus chicken place actually does.
Forgot to mention that the buttermilk kills the acidity while leaving a slight pickle taste.
My dumbass went to an interview today and forgot Hollandaise and Veloute. And I cook this 💩 off and on every month. 🤦🏾♂️ I didn’t go to culinary school but have been coking professionally for 17 years. Can’t believe I didn’t remember those two. I looked stupid.
So what happened? Did you get the job?
Saved for future meal!
You messed up the sous vide potatoes. Do not add water! Do not dump them out of the bag. Mash them inside the sealed bag then snip a corner and pipe out. Can hold unopened bag SV. Can hold snipped bag SV.
Nah. I did them just fine. I added both water and cream and they turned out fine. I liked them just as much as the other ones. Just cream would be too heavy. I don't need to pipe them.
I was wondering do you have a chicken and waffles recipe?
I do have a good fried chicken recipe. I've had the dish a few times, are the waffles anything different? If not I could definitely make this in the future.
@@SeasonLiberally as far as I know there is nothing special about the waffles I know some people add things to the waffles.
No one is oppressed by a chicken sandwich. 🙄
People are oppressed by the money spent on the chicken sandwich and then funneled to anti-gay causes. Glad we had this talk. You learned something.
The 2 cuts you started with were day and night apart. One was very lean and one had dark meat and marbling. This should have been a video on how to select the best pork chop, not how to compare brine methods
I did this multiple times testing it before I filmed. Never was the brined chop even close. These chops are somewhat different but not so much that the composition of the chop can be solely responsible for the difference.
A chicken sandwich that isn't dry af and doesn't come with a free side of hateful bigotry?! Sign me up!
I like the shorter beard. Thanks again for your old chicken skin recipe. I would not have thought that up on my own. Thanks for helping us avoid this restaurant.
Getting podcast crossover. Instead of 'some peanut oil', I heard subpoena oil. Both would suffice for a certain ex-pres.
Such a good idea for a video. Loved the intro!
rofl wow.
