- Remove from heat immediately and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Gently fold the crisp rice cereal into the peanut butter mixture using a silicone spatula until lightly coated; do not over-mix.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down lightly with a greased spatula or parchment paper.
