Cookies ‘N’ Cream Rice Krispies Treats
- 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 16 ounces of mini marshmallows
- 5 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
- 12 to 16 Oreos (chopped or crushed into small pieces)
- 8 ounces of white melting chocolate
- Line a 9 x 13 rectangular pan with parchment paper or butter the sides and top to prevent sticking. If you prefer thicker treats, opt for a 9-inch square pan instead.
- In a large pot or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Once melted, add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add all the marshmallows and continue stirring until they melt completely into the butter, leaving no clumps.
- Pour in the cereal and chopped Oreos, stirring until everything is evenly mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to the pan and use a rubber spatula or your fingers to gently press it down evenly. Be careful not to pack it too tightly; we want them fluffy! If it sticks too much, dampen the spatula or your fingers with a little water.
- Let the treats cool for 30 minutes to an hour until they set, then slice into squares.
- Melt the chocolate according to package instructions, then dip the bottom of each square into the chocolate and set them on a parchment-lined tray. Drizzle the tops with a thin layer of white chocolate.
- Once the chocolate hardens, dig in and enjoy!
- I recommend using these marshmallows for the best results, but feel free to use your favorite brand.
- If you prefer less sweetness, skip the chocolate dipping step and enjoy them plain.
- Be careful not to press the bars too firmly into the pan, or they’ll become dense and hard to eat.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for a day or so.
