Instructions
- Prep Pan: Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease with butter.
- Melt Ingredients: In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Reduce heat to low and add peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Add mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
- Combine with Cereal: Pour in Rice Krispies cereal and stir gently until well coated.
- Set and Serve: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Let it set for 30 minutes before cutting into 24 squares.
Notes
- Peanut Butter: Use any type of creamy peanut butter.

- Texture: Avoid pressing the mixture too firmly into the pan to maintain a soft texture. Do not refrigerate, as this will harden the treats.
