6 cups crispy rice cereal
10 ounces mini marshmallows

Zest the peel of one Sunkist orange and juice the orange.

Add in Sunkist orange juice, zest, vanilla extract, and marshmallows. Stir until marshmallows are melted.
Add crispy rice cereal. Stir until cereal is coated.
Cover 9x13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Add cereal mixture into the pan and spread evenly. Press down on the top of the bars with a sheet of parchment paper to make them flat.

Once the mixture cools holiday cookie cutters can be used to create festive shapes.
