Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 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, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a large non-stick saucepan, melt butter over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter, continuously stirring until they are completely melted and smooth, creating a creamy mixture.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and quickly fold in Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
- Gently mix in crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them throughout the marshmallow-cereal mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula or buttered hands to press it down evenly and firmly.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent scorching.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the pressed Rice Krispies mixture, creating a decorative pattern.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Once completely cooled, lift the treats out of the pan using parchment paper edges and cut into 12 equal squares.
- Serve and enjoy your Cookies Cream Rice Krispies treats immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture and meltability. Older marshmallows can make your treats tough and less gooey.
- Work quickly when mixing the marshmallow and cereal to ensure even coating. Have all your ingredients measured and ready before you start melting.
- For perfectly smooth treats, use buttered hands or a spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray when pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate – melt it in short intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares. A sharp knife dipped in hot water can help create smooth cuts.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness. These treats are best consumed within 2-3 days.
- For an extra indulgent version, try using dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a more complex flavor profile.
