Spring Marshmallow Krispie Treats

Ingredients

6 cups Rice Krispies or any crisp rice cereal

1 10-oz bag of your favorite brand of mini marshmallows

5 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pastel M & M’s or other candies for decoration

Instructions

In a large pan, melt the butter and mini marshmallows together over low heat. Stir frequently, or you can have some little helpers do this for you.
When marshmallows are melted, stir in the vanilla extract, and remove from heat.
Add the cereal, one cup at a time, and stir after each cup is added.
When the cereal is fully mixed with the marshmallows, spoon into a buttered 13×9-inch baking pan.
When the mixture is slightly cool, press in the candies over the top of the cereal.
Refrigerate until firm, and enjoy!
