Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
  • 5 cups mini marshmallows (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 20 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (Double Stuf optional)
  • 1/2 cup Oreo crumbs
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt
  • Extra Oreo pieces, white chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting. Lightly butter the paper or spray with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it bubbles and smells nutty, about 2-3 minutes. Stir constantly.
  3. Add mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Lower heat if needed.
  4. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt.
  5. Remove pan from heat. Add crispy rice cereal and stir quickly to coat all the cereal with the marshmallow mixture.
  6. Immediately stir in chopped Oreos, Oreo crumbs, white chocolate chips, and mini chocolate chips. Mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Scrape mixture into the prepared pan. Using a buttered spatula or oiled hands, press evenly into the pan without packing too tightly.
  8. Sprinkle extra Oreo pieces or drizzle melted white chocolate on top, pressing lightly so they stick.
  9. Let bars sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or refrigerate for 20 minutes until firm.
  10. Lift bars out using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife between cuts for neat edges.

Notes

Use fresh marshmallows for best texture. Press mixture lightly into the pan for gooey bars. For gluten-free, use gluten-free rice cereal and sandwich cookies. Bars can be customized with mix-ins like sprinkles, nuts, or berries. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
