Oreo Rice Krispie Treats

Last weekend I made a batch of THE BEST rice krispie treats I've ever made.

Seriously they were so good! Obviously adding Oreo cookies to anything

is going to make it better, but I think the addition of more marshmallows

and white chocolate chips is the secret weapon!

 

I've always wanted to make extra large rice krispie treats - like the ones you 

see in bakeries or specialty stores, so I made this batch in a 9x9 bake

dish instead of the usual 9x13. They're so thick and delicious!

I hope that you enjoy them too!

 Oreo Rice Krispie Treats

6 T butter

2 - 10 ounce bags of mini marshmallows (2 cups set aside)

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. sea salt

8 cups crispy rice cereal

2 cups chopped Oreo cookies

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

For thick rice krispie treats (like the ones in my photos), use a greased 9x9 bake dish.

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows (except for the 2 cups 

that you set aside) and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla

and salt. Add the cereal and then the chopped cookies; gently stirring until completed coated.

Fold in the remaining two cups of marshmallows and white chocolate chips.

Lightly press mixture into the greased pan. I spray my hands with cooking spray to press

the mixture.

Drizzle with melted white chocolate and crushed Oreo's.

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Krispies

My friend Lindsay brought me this bag of Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows last week.
She said "make something with these and bring me some".
So I did :)

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Krispies

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

3 T butter

1 bag Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows

2 cups Chocolate Chips

cooking spray

Spray your  9 x 13 bake dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows.  Stir continuously until they are melted and combined. Remove from heat and stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture. Press into your bake dish.

Melt chocolate chips with a little tiny pat of butter in the microwave or over a water bath.

I prefer the water bath method.  To do this find a glass bowl that will fit on a small saucepan.  (I use a Pyrex bowl).  Put water in the botton of your saucepan, but do not let it touch the bottom of the glass bowl.

Place your chocolate chips and a tiny pat of butter in the bowl and heat over low heat.

Stir continuously until all the chips are melted.

Pour melted chocolate over the rice krispies and spread with a small spatula.

I put mine in the freezer for about 5 minutes for the chocolate to set.

Cut into square and serve.

Deliver some to your friend that gave you the marshmallows :)
