Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the Nutella until smooth.
Mix in Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir until they are melted and combined with the Nutella mixture.
Combine with Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies until they are fully coated with the Nutella mixture. If desired, add a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract.
Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press down firmly with a spatula or your hands to create an even layer. If desired, sprinkle extra marshmallows or chocolate chips on top.
