Oreo Rice Krispie Treats
Description
Oreo Rice Krispie Treats blend crunchy rice cereal with the familiar chocolate and cream of Oreos, embedded within a marshmallow and butter mixture. The mixture is heated to melt the marshmallows and butter together, then gently combined with the cereal and Oreo pieces to preserve texture. Pressing the mixture firmly into a buttered pan ensures even thickness and shape.
After cooling, these treats slice easily for serving as a dessert or snack. The salted butter in the base balances sweetness from the marshmallows and Oreos, creating a nuanced flavor profile. Such treats are popular for casual gatherings, lunchboxes, or anytime a handheld, no-bake sweet is desired.
No special equipment is needed beyond a pan sized to preference. The recipe provides flexibility to make thicker or thinner bars by choosing pan dimensions and pressing the mixture accordingly.
Ingredients
- 9 cups mini marshmallows divided
- 5 cups rice krispie cereal
- 16 Oreo cookies chopped
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Prepare a 9-inch square pan (for thicker rice krispie treats) or a 9x13-inch pan (for thinner rice krispie treats) by coating generously with butter; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies, chopped Oreos, and 1 cup of the marshmallows.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the salt and remaining 8 cups of marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted.
- Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies mixture and gently stir until combined.
- Spread the Oreo Rice Krispies mixture into the prepared pan and press gently to flatten the top.
- Allow the Oreo Rice Krispie Treats to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then slice and serve.
