Ingredients
  

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

4 cups mini marshmallows (plus a few extra for topping)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt (optional)

Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Prep the Pan: Begin by greasing a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter to ensure the treats don’t stick.

    Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir in the mini marshmallows continuously until completely melted and smooth.

      Flavor It Up: Once the marshmallows are melted and combined with the butter, add in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using) for an extra burst of flavor. Stir until well mixed.

        Combine with Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly add the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture using a spatula to avoid crushing the rice cereal too much. Ensure all the cereal is well coated.

          Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a piece of wax paper or a greased spatula, press the mixture firmly into the pan evenly. If desired, scatter a few extra mini marshmallows on top and lightly press them in for added texture.

            Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut them into squares or rectangles as desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve these delightful treats as a sweet snack or dessert. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week (if they last that long!).
