Add the vegan marshmallows to the saucepan, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula, press it down firmly and evenly to form a compact layer.
Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Once set, remove the treats from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into 12 equal squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
