Add in the marshmallows and cook until almost completely melted. Stir minimally.
Remove the pot from the heat and add in the vanilla. Stir well to combine.
Stir in the cereal until well coated in marshmallow mixture.

Notes
Choose between salted or unsalted butter based on your taste preference.
Stir the marshmallow mixture just enough; excessive stirring can make the treats hard and brittle.
Grease the pan properly to avoid sticking, using nonstick cooking spray, butter, or parchment paper.
Ensure the marshmallows are heated correctly and avoid over-stirring to prevent the treats from turning hard and stale.
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for a few weeks, thawing on the counter for 15 minutes before enjoying.
