Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with non-stick cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal and Fruit Loops cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold the cereals until they are evenly coated.
Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a greased spatula or your hands (lightly greased with cooking spray) to press the mixture evenly into the dish. Be careful not to press too firmly, as this can make the treats dense.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until fully set.
Once set, cut the treats into 12 equal-sized squares or rectangles and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
