Instructions

  1. Step 1: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan with butter and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter; add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir continuously until melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove the pan from heat and stir in 6 cups crispy rice cereal until well coated.
  4. Step 4: Immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down firmly with a buttered spatula or clean hands to create an even layer; let cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth to make the vanilla marshmallow glaze.
  6. Step 6: Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled rice crispy layer and allow it to set for 30 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
