OREO RICE KRISPIE TREATS

• 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal or other crisped rice cereal
• 6 Tbs salted butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 16 Oreo cookies roughly chopped (I used Double Stuf Oreos, but you can use regular Oreos)

• 16 Oreo cookies roughly chopped (I used Double Stuf Oreos, but you can use regular Oreos)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Melt the butter in a medium sized pot over low heat.
• Add in half of the marshmallows. Continue to cook on low heat for a few minutes or until melted, while stirring frequently.
• Pour the cereal and vanilla over the marshmallow and butter mixture and stir until almost completely combined.
• Take off heat and fold in chopped Oreos and second half of marshmallows until equally distributed throughout the mixture. You don’t want to completely melt the second half of the marshmallows.
• Pour into a parchment lined or greased 9×13 inch pan and gently press until it reaches the edges.
• Set the treats aside to cool completely before slicing into bars and serving.

NOTES

• It’s much easier to chip your double stuff Oreos if they have been chilled. I like to put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes before chopping to keep all of the stuffing from coming out when chopping.
• Heat the pot on a low heat for the softest and chewiest treats.
• Don’t use less marshmallows than stated in the recipe or your bars will not hold together.
• Don’t use old or stale marshmallows as they can dry out quickly.
• Let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
