Black Sesame Rice Krispies Treats

Grease an 8-inch square pan with toasted sesame oil.

In a large pot, melt and brown the butter over medium heat until it smells nutty and the milk solids turn golden brown.

Turn off the heat and stir in the black sesame seeds to toast them in the residual heat for about 2 minutes.

Add the marshmallows and salt to the pot.

Return the pot to low heat and stir patiently until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil.

Add the crispy rice cereal to the pot.

Working quickly, fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until every grain is evenly coated.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.

Gently press the mixture into an even layer without packing it too tightly.

Let the treats set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.

Once firm, turn the block of treats out onto a cutting board.

Using a serrated knife, cut the block into squares.

To serve as a cereal, break the treats into clusters, place in a bowl, and pour milk over them.
