1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement.
Remove the pot from heat and carefully mix in the Rice Krispies cereal and any optional mix-ins until well combined.
Grease the plastic Easter egg molds or silicone egg molds with nonstick spray.
