Ingredients

• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 10 ounces mini marshmallows
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Quickly add the crispy rice cereal to the pot and gently fold the mixture until the cereal is evenly coated with the melted marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly using a spatula or lightly greased hands. Be careful not to press down too hard, as this can make the treats overly dense.

Step 7

Allow the cereal treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour.

Step 8

Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
