Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tbsp butter
- 6 cups rice cereal
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter. Set aside.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Use a spatula to ensure even melting and prevent burning.
- Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth, creating a glossy mixture.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and quickly fold in rice cereal, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Gently mix in crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the marshmallow-cereal mixture.
- Immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, using a spatula or buttered hands to press it down evenly and firmly.
- Sprinkle the colorful sprinkles over the top of the mixture, pressing them lightly so they adhere to the surface.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes until they become firm.
- Once set, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife, cleaning the knife between cuts for neat edges.
- Serve and enjoy your colorful, fun Funfetti Oreo Krispie Treats!
Tips
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture and meltability.
- Work quickly when mixing ingredients to prevent the mixture from cooling and becoming difficult to spread.
- Butter your spatula or hands to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
- For cleaner cuts, let the treats cool completely and use a sharp knife wiped with cooking spray.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
- For extra indulgence, try drizzling melted chocolate over the top or adding a layer of chocolate chips.
- Use name-brand Oreos for the best flavor, and crush them to varied sizes for interesting texture.
- Choose bright, colorful sprinkles to maximize the fun factor and visual appeal.
