Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick BAKING SPRAY (not original non-stick cooking spray...it will give the rice krispies a weird taste. If you don't have BAKING SPRAY...you could brush melted butter in the inside of the baking dish too). Set aside 2 cups of mini marshmallows.
In a large microwavable bowl, melt butter in the microwave for 1 minute or until melted. Save the butter wrapper to help make pressing the rice krispie treats into the baking dish so much easier!
Add the remaining mini marshmallows, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir to coat marshmallows with the butter. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds or until marshmallows are completely melted.
Stir in cereal. Add the remaining marshmallows. Stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Using the butter wrapper, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Let cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Cut into squares and enjoy!

There are 6 cups in one 10 ounce bag of mini marshmallows. You will need about 9 cups or 16 oz. bag of mini marshmallows.
Use BAKING non-stick cooking spray in the pan rather than using original cooking spray which will leave a "weird" taste to the rice Krispie treats. The BAKING cooking spray actually makes the rice Krispie treats taste even better (it's like a little secret ingredient).
Save the wrapper that the stick of butter is wrapped in and use it to press the rice Krispie treats into the pan.
