Ingredients
Scale
- 5 tablespoons (70g) salted butter
- 4 ½ cups (225g) miniature marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (50g) crushed oreos (about 4–5 oreo cookies)
- 3 ½ cups (105g) crispy rice cereal
- ½ cup (25g) extra mini marshmallows
- 6 oz (170g) pure white chocolate
- ¼ cup (25g) crushed oreos (reserve 2 teaspoon for topping)
- 2 oreos broken in pieces for topping
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper on all sides and set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet, saucepan, or Dutch oven over medium-low heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally until completely melted.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the marshmallows, and stir until fully melted and smooth, being patient not to increase the heat.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and salt, then quickly add the crushed Oreos and rice cereal, stirring until well combined. Fold in the extra marshmallows gently.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and use a lightly oiled spatula or hands to pat it down evenly without compressing too tightly.
- Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature until set.
- To make the topping, melt the white chocolate gently in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Stir in the crushed Oreos, then spread over the rice crispy treats and sprinkle with reserved crumbs and broken Oreo pieces.
- Allow to set in a cool place or refrigerate for 5 minutes to firm up without making the treats hard.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the treats to a cutting board and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
Make sure to melt the marshmallows over low heat to avoid hard treats.
Use a nonstick spray or oil on your hands to prevent the mixture from sticking when you pat it down.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
