Celebrity chef, restauranteur and star of Master Chef Graham Elliot's new book, Cooking Like a Master Chef, recently hit the shelves, so he's been running all over the place promoting it. One re-printed recipe caught our eye—his take on the classic rice krispies treat, which he calls "Spice Krispies."

CBS Baltimore printed the recipe, which mixes things up a bit. Said Elliot:

"I added some autumn backing spices to the mix to come with a amazing version of the classic treat. The real trick is the brown butter. By toasting it a little longer than usual, its natural sugars caramelize and fill the kitchen with the most intoxicating aroma any kitchen can have."

Those "autumn spices" include cinnamon, allspice, cardamom and ginger, which almost every home cook has lying around. That means that this master chef recipe will be easy to make (and to impress your friends with) for any New Years Eve parties that might be coming up.
