  • Decrease the heat to medium-low. Add the vanilla and 20 oz. of marshmallows. Stir until completely melted.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and add the cereal. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly combined. Add the remaining 5 oz. of marshmallows and mix in (these will soften but not completely melt, you want gooey bits in the rice crispy treats).
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press gently into an even layer.
