Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter (Use salted for perfect balance)
- 8 cups Mini Marshmallows (Use regular if you cut them down)
- 6 cups Krispie Cereal (Other puffed cereals can be used)
- 1 cup Oreo Cookies (Use whole for maximum flavor)
- 1 pinch Salt (Skip if using salted butter)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the required ingredients including butter, mini marshmallows, Krispie cereal, Oreo cookies, and salt for a smooth cooking process.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbly. Add the mini marshmallows and a pinch of salt, stirring continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Combine Ingredients: Remove the saucepan from heat. Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Krispie cereal and crushed Oreo cookies in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until the cereal and cookies are evenly coated.
- Press Into Pan: Lightly grease a 9-inch square pan. Transfer the combined mixture into the pan and press down evenly with a spatula or your hands to create a compact, uniform layer.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for 30 minutes. Once firm, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For best flavor balance, use salted butter; omit the added salt if doing so.
- You can substitute Krispie cereal with other puffed cereals if desired.
- Using whole Oreo cookies maximizes chocolate flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.
- If the mixture is too sticky to work with, refrigerate for 10 minutes before pressing into the pan.
