Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 (12 ounce) bag M&Ms

Instructions

Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
Add 6 cups of rice cereal to a very large bowl.
In a large saucepan, add the butter and heat on medium until melted.
After the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and melt. Stir frequently.
Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the marshmallow mixture to the bowl with the rice cereal and mix well with a large spoon or a silicone spatula. It helps to spray the spatula with non-stick cooking spray. You may need to use clean hands to mix at some point.
Wait a couple of minutes, then add 2/3 of the M&Ms and mix well with a spoon, silicone spatula, or clean hands.
Spread the mixture into the sprayed 13x9 inch pan.
Sprinkle the top of the Rice Krispie treats with the last 1/3 of the M&Ms and push them into the treats.
Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

How to Store: Either in the 13x9 inch baking dish and cover with plastic wrap, or place squares into an airtight container and store at room temperature. These treats are best eaten within 2-3 days.
