Grease a 9x9 baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium, light-colored saucepan, melt salted butter over medium-low heat. ** See Notes section.
Keep the burner on medium-low and cook the butter, swirling every 15-20 seconds, until the milk solids turn dark golden brown and it smells toasty.
Turn off the burner and add 3 cups (12 oz) of regular-size marshmallows. Stir to coat in brown butter.
While the burner is off, slowly stir and melt marshmallows for 1 minute. After 1 minute, turn the burner on low and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
Add vanilla and kosher salt, stirring to combine.
Add 6 cups of rice crispy cereal and stir until well coated in marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the rice crispy mixture to the greased pan and gently press to flatten top and push to edges of pan. Optional, top with sprinkles.
Let cool for 1 hour at room temperature.
Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
