Instructions

Butter a 9 inch by 13 inch Pyrex or other baking pan.
In a medium to large sized pot, brown the butter over medium-low heat.
Add the marshmallows and stir until melted.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla and salt.
Quickly stir the cereal into the butter and marshmallow mixture. It does not need to be fully mixed. Then mix in the M&Ms.
Transfer the mixture into the buttered pan, and use the spatula or your hands to spread the mixture evenly into the pan, pushing down on it gently. Cover and let cool fully before cutting.

Notes

Browning butter is a great skill. Cook the butter slowly so that it does not burn. Once the butter stops bubbling, swirl the pan or stir the butter until you get browned bits on the bottom and it stars to smell nutty. Browning the butter should take about 5 minutes.
It is important to work quickly to combine the butter and marshmallow mixture to the cereal before it cools. It's best to add the M&Ms right away, but know that their colors might bleed a bit.
