Oreos and Cream Rice Krispie Bars






I think it is pretty safe to say that everyone liked rice krispie bars right? I know in my opinion they rock! I combined a few recipes I found on other blog sites to make these gooey, oreoy, rice krispity bars:) They are a standard rice krispie recipe with added mini oreo cookies and then the tops are dipped in melted white chocolate. Mmmm...









Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 bags marshmallows (I like them gooey)
4 T butter
6 cups rice krispies
8oz bag mini oreos
5 oz white chocolate
Directions:
1. In large pot, melt butter over low heat.
2. Once melted, add marshmallows and heat until combined. All the chunks of mallow will be gone...careful not to burn them. Stir constantly
3. Add cereal and cookies; stir to combine. **reserve about 6 cookies and finely chop to use later for the crumb top of the bars
4. Press mixture into greased 8x11 pan. (I used this smaller pan to have thicker bars; can use 9x13 also). PS: a buttered spatula, spoon, or wax paper helps a lot in this step!
5. Let bars cool completely.
6. Meanwhile, chop chocolate.
7. Once bars are cooled, cut into squares.
8. Place chopped chocolate into small bowl and microwave on high at 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted.
9. Dip the tops of each bar into chocolate, then into reserved cookie crumbs.
**These keep well in a air tight container for a long time.

  1. Good call on the addition of white chocolate. Oh, and duh! Mini oreos makes things much easier and neater.

    Though I made something very similar I prefer the "plain" ones!

  2. I did see your recipe post for your cookies & cream bars when I got the inspiration for these! I saw about 6 blogs with different versions, so combined parts of each. These were good, but I do see what you mean...it is hard to be regular rice krispy bars!
