In a large pan, melt together the butter and 15 cups of marshmallows over low heat while stirring constantly. After the marshmallows are completely melted, add the vanilla.

Next, stir in the cereal. Remove from heat, and mix in the remaining 5 cups of miniature marshmallows and chocolate candies (M&Ms).
Scoop out the warm rice krispie treats, and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Butter your hands, and press the mixture into the dish to form an even layer.
Allow the treats to set for at least 30 minutes before cutting. Cut into 12 large squares or 32 small squares, and save any extras in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
