Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 30cm square baking tin with unsalted butter.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty.
Tip: This should take about 10-15 minutes.

Remove the browned butter from the heat and whisk in the golden syrup, sugar, salt, flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Tip: Make sure to scrape the bottom of the saucepan to avoid any browned bits.

Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the eggs until well combined.
Tip: Be careful not to overmix.
- 5
Add the confectioners' sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and sea salt to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Fold in the crisp rice cereal until it is evenly distributed.
Tip: Make sure the cereal is well coated with the mixture.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top.

Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
