Gather all ingredients and equipment.

Pan spray a 15x10 baking dish.  I used a 3 quart pyrex glass casserole dish that I had on hand.   I have been using Coconut Oil pan spray by Spectrum Naturals.

In a large pot over medium low heat, melt butter.  Add in marshmallows and vanilla bean, stirring constantly until melted.  Turn off heat.

Add in rice krispies and fold into the marshmallow mixture until well coated.

Place mix into prepared dish, pushing down until evenly distributed.

If you have another glass baking dish of the same size, pan spray the bottom of it and place it on top of the rice krispy treats to be.  (this step is optional, but I found it works best-having the extra weight on the mix)

Pan spray your hands and the Mickey cutter.  Use the cutter to make your Mickey treats and place on parchment lined cookie sheets.

Melt chocolate in microwave using 15 second bursts.

I used red and white striped straws, for a Main Street USA feel, as sticks to hold the treats.

Stick a straw in each Mickey Treat in the middle about half-way up.

Coat in chocolate and place on parchment lined cookie sheets.  Allow to set.

Stick treats into a foam board for serving.
