1. Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and sugar-free marshmallows.
3. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined with the butter to create a smooth consistency.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
5. Add the puffed keto-friendly cereal to the marshmallow mixture, gently folding until the cereal is evenly coated.
6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to gently press it down into an even layer.
7. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, either at room temperature or in a refrigerator for faster setting.
8. Once set, lift the parchment overhang to remove the entire block from the pan.
9. Cut the block into 12 equal squares.
10. Serve and enjoy the crispy and keto-friendly treats!
