Thanks to a tip from Stephanie....I now make them all the time....in an Ice Cream Bucket in the Microwave. Here's how I do it in less than 6 minutes...start to finish including washing the dishes.
1) Spray a 9 x 13 pan and your spoon with PAM
2)Melt 1/4 cup butter in a bucket in the microwave. If you have a high pwer Microwave you might want to do this on med-high. Swirl around the sides to cover as best you can.
3) Add 40 large marshmellows. Microwave for 2 minutes or until puffed just above the rim. Stir til smooth...add 1 t vanilla.
4) Add 6 cups cereal. Stir and then watch it drop right out of the bucket into the dish. AMAZING!
5) Spray your hand with PAM and press lightly down to even it out.
6.) ENJOY! The easy clen-up and the tasty treat.
Does this really work in a microwave? A long time ago another friend told me about microwave rice krispies, but I was skeptical. Also, I usually 1 1/2 the recipe because these are Bill's favorite, so I wonder if the bucket would be big enough for 9 c. of cereal.

Mindy with 40 marshmellows it's right to the top in a tradition ice cream bucket....so i wouldn't risk adding more. BUt with this method you could make 2 full batches in the sam amount of time!
