Origin of Cookies and Cream Desserts

Ingredients

5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
20 Oreo cookies, crushed (some chunks, some crumbs)
4 cups mini marshmallows (or 1 bag, 10 oz)
4 tbsp unsalted butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional, for extra creaminess)

Directions

Prepare the pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or line with parchment paper.
Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreos in a ziplock bag and crush them into a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks.
Melt the butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Mix in the cereal: Remove from heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies and crushed Oreos, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
Press into the pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and press down lightly with a buttered spatula (don’t compact too much, or they’ll be hard).
Add white chocolate (optional): Sprinkle white chocolate chips on top while the treats are still warm, pressing them in slightly.
Cool and cut: Let the treats set for 30-45 minutes, then slice into squares and enjoy!
