Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the butter pieces on the bottom of the prepared dish and drizzle the vanilla extract over them.
Evenly spread the marshmallows over the butter and vanilla.
Fill the remaining gaps with the Rice Krispies cereal up to the rim of the pan, reserving the extra cereal for later.
Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until the marshmallows are melted and the cereal is lightly golden.
Remove the pan and immediately stir everything together with a spatula, mixing the melted marshmallows with the cereal and butter until well combined.
Add the remaining Rice Krispies and continue stirring until evenly mixed.
Press the mixture gently into an even layer in the pan using a lightly greased spatula or damp hands, being careful not to pack it down too hard.
Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour until completely set, then cut into squares.
Tips while you cook
- Butter first
- Spread the butter pieces first and drizzle vanilla before adding marshmallows.
- Stir while hot
- Stir immediately after baking while the marshmallows are still melted.
- Add extra cereal later
- Reserve the extra Rice Krispies until after the first stir.
- Cool before cutting
- Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before cutting to allow them to set fully.
