Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats

I made a pan of these today, and I'm certain we'll be making at least one more by the end of this weekend  A new take, on an old favorite from the Smitten Kitchen

Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats
What’s different about these? Oh, just a bit more (coughdouble) butter which you toast until it’s brown and nutty and help along with some coarse salt, just minor things. But it changes everything.
Makes 16 2-inch squares or 32 1- x 2-inch small bars
4 ounces (1/4 pound or 1 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for the pan
1 10-ounce bag marshmallows
Heaping 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (about half a 12-ounce box)
Butter (or coat with non-stick spray) an 8-inch square cake pan with 2-inch sides.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and finally start to turn brown and smell nutty. Stir frequently, scraping up any bits from the bottom as you do. Don’t take your eyes off the pot as while you may be impatient for it to start browning, the period between the time the butter begins to take on color and the point where it burns is often less than a minute.
As soon as the butter takes on a nutty color, turn the heat off and stir in the marshmallows. The residual heat from the melted butter should be enough to melt them, but if it is not, turn it back on low until the marshmallows are smooth.
Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the salt and cereal together. Quickly spread into prepared pan. I liked to use a piece of waxed or parchment paper that I’ve sprayed with oil to press it firmly and evenly into the edges and corners, though a silicon spatula works almost as well.
Let cool, cut into squares and get ready to make new friends.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

This recipe was submitted on June 10th by cashandjack

You need:
Pillsbury peanut butter cookies in the refrigerated section the kind that comes in the squares.
Reese's peanut butter cups, the little kind that come in the foil, not the mini's.
You take the cookie squares and cut each one in half and roll it into a ball and stick it into a greased mini-muffin pan. It should make 24 balls. Then you bake it in the oven using the package directions for head and use the minimum cooking time, usually 9 minutes.
When they are done take them out of the oven and start to unwrap the peanut butter cups. When the cookies are cool but not too cool and they are still in the pan push the peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. After they have cooled completely take them out and enjoy.
I can have these made in about 20 minutes and that includes baking time and they are usually gone in less than 2 days.
