Fill a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Place egg whites and sugar in a metal stand mixer bowl and clip on a candy thermometer. Place bowl over simmering pot of water.
Whisk egg whites/sugar mixture constantly until the temperature reaches 160ยบ F on the thermometer.
Then remove bowl from stove and attach to stand mixer with whisk attachment.
Starting at medium/low speed, begin to whisk egg whites/sugar mixture for about 2 minutes.
Then increase to a medium/high speed and whisk until mixture thickens and the mixer bowl is cool to the touch, about 10 minutes. Then add vanilla extract and give it one more good whisking to blend well.
The texture of the meringue should be fluffy and it should have a glossy finish. (It should look like marshmallow fluff you buy in a jar.)
With a spatula, spread meringue over the cooled Rice Krispie treats, cut into squares and enjoy!
Note: the Rice Krispies can be made ahead of time, but the meringue needs to be made the day of or the night before you plan to serve it. The meringue can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for about one day, but after that it will become dry.
