Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Grease a 13 x 9 baking pan with 1 tbsp of butter and set aside, or you can use cooking spray to coat the pan.
Add the butter to a large dutch oven or pot and gently melt over medium-low heat until the brown bits fall to the bottom of the pot 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
Once the butter is melted and browned leave the pot on the burner but turn the burner off and add the marshmallows. The heat from the warm butter and hot burner will help melt the marshmallows.
Gently stir until the marshmallows are fully melted, don't rush the process.
Once the marshmallows are fully melted add in the rice krispies until they are fully coated in the butter/marshmallow mix.
Pour into the greased baking pan. Gently spread and press into an even layer. You can use a greased spatula, wax paper, or greased hands. Be careful and just gently press to prevent them from getting hard once they cool. (Do not pack the mix into the pan).
Top with sprinkles/jimmies if desired.
Sprinkle Maldon Salt over the top (Optional)
Cool completely before cutting them into squares.
