Prepare an 8x8 inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter.
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter gently.
Add the sugar-free marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly until they melt completely and form a smooth mixture.
Stir in the sugar-free vanilla syrup, stevia, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine with the melted marshmallows.
Remove the pan from heat. Quickly add the puffed rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring until the cereal is fully coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared 8x8 inch pan. Using a spatula or buttered hands, press the mixture down evenly into the pan, ensuring it's packed tightly and smoothly.
Allow the rice crispy squares to cool completely in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before cutting.
Once set, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place it onto a cutting board. Cut into 12 equal squares. Serve and enjoy!
