Steps:
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with aluminum foil and spray generously with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the cereal with 1 bag marshmallows in a large bowl; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the 3 remaining bags of marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are fully melted, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Fold half the cereal mixture into the melted marshmallows until well-coated; fold in the remaining cereal mixture.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan. Spray another piece of foil with cooking spray and use it to cover the mixture, pressing gently on the foil to evenly spread the mixture out, getting it evenly into the corners and flattening the top (you can dome the top slightly if you have extra mixture). Place in the refrigerator to set, around 1 hour. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve. Leftovers keep in an airtight container at room temperature, 2 days; or wrap in a freezer bag and freeze.

Tips:
- Use fresh marshmallows. Stale marshmallows will not melt as smoothly and will make your treats tough.
- Don't overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will be chewy and difficult to stir.
- Add the cereal gradually. Adding the cereal all at once will make it difficult to stir and will result in lumpy treats.
- Press the treats firmly into the pan. This will help them to hold their shape when you cut them.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting them. This will prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.

Rice crispy treats are a classic no-bake treat that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of different flavors and toppings. Whether you are making them for a party, a potluck, or just for a snack, these treats are sure to be a hit.
