Oreo Rice Krispie Treats

 These are so easy and SUCH a huge hit with everyone who tries one!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened (I always use salted)
• 20 oz marshmallows (I like the mini ones best)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 7 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
• 20-24 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped or crushed
• 1 cup of mini marshmallows to add at the end

Instructions

• Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter on low or medium-low heat and let it cook 3-4 minutes, until it turns a golden brown.
• Add the marshmallows and cook on low, stirring constantly until mostly melted, a few small lumps are ok. 
• Add the vanilla and stir to combine
• Remove the pan from the heat and add the cereal, Oreos and extra cup of mini marshmallows. Stir until evenly combined. 
• Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan and press mixture into the pan with lightly greased hands (smashing them too hard will create firm treats, so have a gentle hand to keep them chewy)
• Let cool before slicing into squares
