- 1 cup marshmallow fluff (marshmallow creme)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter

Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Melt the butter: Place a large saucepan over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter until it’s completely liquid.

- Add vanilla extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Fold in crispy rice cereal: Gently fold the crispy rice cereal into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring all the cereal is evenly coated.
- Press mixture into dish: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it firmly and evenly to form a compact layer.
- Let bars set: Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour until it’s firm and set.
- Cut and serve: Once set, cut the mixture into bars and serve as a delicious snack or dessert.
Notes
- For easier cutting and cleaner bars, refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes after the initial setting time.
- You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for a different texture if preferred.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Ensure the marshmallow fluff is well mixed for a smooth binding texture.
