Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 Oreos
- 12 oz (6 cups) mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with wax paper or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal later. Grease the exposed sides of the dish to prevent sticking.
- Crush Oreos: Place the 12 Oreos in a mixing bowl and use a potato masher or similar tool to crush them into smaller pieces. Set aside for incorporation later.
- Melt Marshmallow Mixture: In a large pot with high sides, melt the mini marshmallows, unsalted butter, salt, and vanilla extract over medium-low heat. Stir frequently with a rubber spatula until the mixture becomes smooth and fully melted.
- Combine Cereal: Remove the pot from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir thoroughly, ensuring every piece is coated evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
- Add Crushed Oreos: Fold half of the crushed Oreo pieces evenly into the Rice Krispies mixture, then add the remaining Oreos and gently mix to distribute throughout.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking and press the mixture gently but firmly into the dish for an even layer.
- Cool and Set: Let the treats sit at room temperature on the counter for 1 to 3 hours to cool and harden completely.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the dish. Cut into 9 squares and serve.
Notes
- For easier cutting, wet the knife with water to prevent sticking.
- Store treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- For a fun variation, try adding mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.
- Use gluten-free Oreos and Rice Krispies if you require a gluten-free dessert.
