Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 20 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Dry Ingredients
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 24 Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Prepare a 9×13-inch pan by coating it with butter, cooking spray, or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Crush Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies inside a large ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin or your hands, leaving some larger chunks for texture. Set aside.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Mix Cereal: Remove the pot from heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until evenly coated in the marshmallow mixture.
- Add Oreos: Add the crushed Oreo cookies, reserving ¼ cup to sprinkle on top and gently mix until combined, ensuring the cookie chunks are evenly distributed.
- Transfer to Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, pressing it down evenly using a greased spatula or clean, buttered hands.
- Top with Oreos: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup crushed Oreos over the Krispie treats.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Notes
- For easy removal and cutting, line the pan with parchment paper.
- Be careful not to over-crush the Oreos; some chunks add great texture.
- Use a low heat to melt marshmallows to avoid burning.
- Press the mixture firmly when transferring to the pan to help the treats hold together.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
