- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 4
Stir constantly until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Gradually add the crispy rice cereal to the mixture, stirring continuously to ensure all the cereal is coated evenly.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a spatula coated with nonstick cooking spray to press the mixture evenly into the dish.
Step 8
Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 9
Once set, slice the Rice Puff Treats into 12 equal squares or rectangles.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! For best results, store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
