Crispy Marshmallow Bars

 Once again, I'm posting a favorite recipe so I always have a back-up in case I lose the tiny cut-out that has this recipe.  Eons ago, I cut it off a bag of Malt-o-Meal Crispy Rice cereal and it has become my favorite rice crispy treat recipe.  I almost always double the recipe and put it in a cookie sheet.  I don't know if it is my favorite because of the vanilla or the ratio or marshmallow to cereal, but here it is:

1/4 cup butter or margarine
10 ounces marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal

Measure cereal into a large bowl.  In a 2-quart saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring occasionally until marshmallows are melted.  Remove from heat; blend in vanilla.  Pour marshmallow mixture over cereal and stir to coat.  Spread into a buttered 9x13-inch pan.  Cool completely.  Cut into bars.  Yield:  24 bars.
