Rice Krispy Treats made with browned butter and vanilla. I am on a rice krispy roll, I made some a few weeks ago also.

Tahitian vanilla is the name for vanilla from French Polynesia, made with the V. tahitiensis strain. Genetic analysis shows this species is possibly a cultivar from a hybrid-cross of V. planifolia and V. odorata. The species was introduced by French Admiral François Alphonse Hamelin to French Polynesia from the Philippines, where it was introduced from Guatemala by the Manila Galleon trade. West Indian vanilla is made from the V. pompona strain grown in the Caribbean and Central and South America.
