Ingredients
Marshmallow Mixture
- 16 ounces marshmallows (1 standard size bag or about 8 cups of mini marshmallows)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
Main Mix-ins
- 5 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 16 Oreo Cookies (about 2 rows in a standard package), roughly chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter while stirring constantly. Once melted, add the marshmallows and a pinch of salt. Stir carefully with a rubber spatula until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, then immediately remove from heat to prevent burning.
- Add Cereal and Oreos: Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and roughly chopped Oreos until everything is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Incorporate Peanut Butter: Microwave the peanut butter for about 15 seconds or until slightly melted. Drop the melted peanut butter into the mixture and gently fold a few times, leaving thick swirls of peanut butter rather than fully mixing it in.
- Press Mixture into Pan: Using a rubber spatula coated with cooking spray, transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it down evenly into a compact layer. If desired, sprinkle additional Oreo crumbles on top and drizzle with melted peanut butter for extra flavor and decoration.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mixture cool and set at room temperature for at least one hour. Once firm, slice into twelve even treats and enjoy!
Notes
- For easier removal, chill the treats slightly before slicing.
- You can substitute creamy or crunchy peanut butter depending on your preference.
- Oreo pieces add a delightful crunch; feel free to add more on top for garnish.
- If you prefer, use mini marshmallows for faster melting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
