Oreo Krispies
These delectable Rice Krispie treats are loaded with oreo cookie pieces, giving them a fun and delicious twist!
Servings: 16 large bars
Ingredients
- 20 oz marshmallows
- 8 tbsp butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼-½ tsp almond extract
- 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 36 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed/chopped
Instructions
- Melt the marshmallows and butter in a medium/large saucepan on medium heat. Stir occasionally at first, but then watch closely as the marshmallows begin to melt. You do not want this to burn.
- After the marshmallows are melted, turn off the heat and add the vanilla and almond extracts. Stir to combine well.
- In a very large bowl, gently combine the Rice Krispies and Oreos.
- Then, add the melted marshmallow mixture to the cereal and Oreos in the large bowl. Mix well.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, or for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, liberally spray a sheet pan with nonstick spray.
- Pour the Rick Krispies mixture onto the sheet pan and press it gently into the sheet pan, spreading it evenly. Do not press so hard as to crush the cereal, but just enough to shape it into the pan. (Spray a little nonstick spray on your hands if the mixture keeps sticking to your hands.)
- Allow to cool for an hour or two before cutting into bars.
- Store in a fully sealed container.
Notes
You can use a 9x13 pan instead of a sheet pan, but the treats will be very thick.
You can also half the recipe using a 9x13 pan, or a 7x11 pan for thicker treats.
Oreo Thins also work great for this - use an entire 10 oz package, or about 40 oreos.
