Instructions

In a large saucepan on low heat, melt butter and mini marshmallows until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and fold in puffed rice until evenly coated.
Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.
Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at intervals until smooth; add coconut oil if needed for consistency.
