Brown Butter Orange Blossom Rice Krispie Treats

Brown Butter Orange Blossom Rice Krispie Treats

This orange blossom Rice Krispie treat is my go to homemade sweet treat for events at my son’s school, housewarming gifts, parties, road trips, breakfast (yes sometimes it’s necessary) and every once in a while a whole pan just for me. Every time I share this with someone it’s an instant favorite. As I am typing this up I’m already delinquent and getting hounded by friends to send the Rice Krispie recipe so they can whip a batch on their own. On the occasion I didn’t have the exact mix in’s I’ve substituted the orange blossom water with orange juice concentrate or lilikoi jelly and using any type of citrus zest. My favorite essential oil to use is the doTerra wild orange oil.
