Line a 9x9 inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray (I use Spectrum Coconut Spray Oil).
In a medium-large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low and add 5 cups of the mini marshmallows.
When the marshmallows start to melt, stir in the gluten free cake mix. Stir frequently until the marshmallow are completely melted.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows. Stir to melt the marshmallows a bit (chunks of marshmallow are perfectly ok) then stir in the gluten free crispy rice cereal and sprinkles.
When all of the cereal is coated with the marshmallow, transfer to the prepared pan. Let it sit in the pan to cool for a minute or two then use a spatula or your hands to press into the pan. (I find that spraying my clean hands with non-stick works best).)
Cool completely then cut into 16-20 squares.
Notes
If Gluten Free Funfetti Cake Mix is not available, use a white or yellow cake mix and add an extra tablespoon of sprinkles.
Store leftovers in an air-tight container up to 2 days.
