Notes

Can I use coconut oil instead?
Absolutely! just use ¼ cup of coconut oil in place of the vegan butter. It tastes delicious.
To make these peppermint flavored
Use the peppermint mini marshmallows from Trader Joe's! 
Use a sheet of parchment paper to help it not stick to your baking dish.
Want these more gooey? Use 4 cups of crispy rice cereal.
Want them more firm? Use 5 cups of cereal.  
Mini marshmallows melt quicker, but use whatever you can find at your local grocery store. 
A wooden spoon or rubber spatula works well to stir these rice krispy treats.
