Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a large non-stick pot, melt butter over low heat until it's completely liquefied and starts to shimmer slightly.
- Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously with a silicone spatula until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, with no lumps remaining.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and quickly fold in Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Gently fold in crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture to create a cookies and cream effect.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, using the spatula to press it down evenly and create a compact, smooth surface.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the rice crispy treats in a decorative pattern.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes before cutting into squares.
- Once set, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 even squares.
