Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 9 cups mini marshmallows (divided)
- 5 cups Krispie cereal
- 16 Oreo cookies, chopped
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Generously butter a 9-inch square pan for thicker treats or a 9×13-inch pan for thinner treats and set it aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal, chopped Oreos, and 1 cup of mini marshmallows, mixing well to distribute the pieces evenly.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in the salt and the remaining 8 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies and Oreos mixture. Gently stir to evenly coat the cereal and cookie pieces with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared pan and gently press down to flatten the top into an even layer.
- Cool and Serve: Let the treats cool in the pan for about 30 minutes until set. Once firm, slice into 12 pieces and serve.
Notes
- For thicker treats, use a 9-inch square pan; for thinner treats, use a 9×13-inch pan.
- Press the mixture gently into the pan to avoid packing it too tightly, which can make the treats too dense.
- Store treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.
- Can be customized by adding nuts or different cookies for variation.
