Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 10 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 0 non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir continuously to avoid browning.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Keep the heat on low and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and you have a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Gently fold the cereal into the melted marshmallow until all the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula or a piece of wax paper to gently press the mixture evenly into the dish.

Step 7

Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 8

Once cool, cut into squares or desired shapes and serve.
