Step 1
Begin by lining your mold with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter. This will facilitate the removal of Rice Krispies squares.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the Rice Krispies. If you're using vanilla or a pinch of salt, add it now. Stir quickly to evenly coat the cereals with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold. Use a buttered spatula or lightly oiled hands to press the mixture evenly and obtain a smooth surface.
Step 5
Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, remove from the mold and cut into squares of uniform size.
