Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 20 oz mini marshmallows
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- â…” cup Oreo cookie crumbs (about 6 Oreo cookies)
- 14 Oreo cookies (roughly chopped)
- 8 Oreo cookies (broken into pieces for the top of the bars)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Prepare a 9×13 baking pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper. Extend the parchment paper up the sides to easily lift out the treats later.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat on the stovetop, melt the unsalted butter. Add 20 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir consistently until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat once melted.
- Mix in Flavorings and Mix-ins: Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and Oreo cookie crumbs into the melted marshmallow mixture. Then fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, additional 2 cups of mini marshmallows, and roughly chopped Oreo cookies ensuring everything is well coated.
- Transfer and Press Mixture: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking, then gently press the mixture evenly into the pan, creating a compact layer. Press the broken Oreo cookie pieces into the top for decoration and extra crunch.
- Set and Serve: Allow the treats to set at room temperature in the pan for about 1 hour. Once set, lift the treats out using the parchment paper and cut into 12 squares to serve.
Notes
- Use moist hands to press the mixture to avoid sticking.
- You can substitute regular marshmallows for mini marshmallows if needed.
- For firmer treats, refrigerate after pressing before cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Make sure to fully melt the marshmallows for a smooth coating.
