Equipment

  • 9 x 13-inch pan for thin bars, or use a smaller pan for thicker bars
  • waxed or parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 10 ounces miniature marshmallows (about 6 cups of minis or 40 regular-size marshmallows)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped (Oreos used; measure after chopping)
  • 4 cups crispy rice cereal
  • cooking spray or butter to coat the pan

Instructions
 

  • Spray the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13-inch pan with cooking spray (or use butter to coat the pan). Set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until they melt. Turn off the heat. Continue to stir until the marshmallows are completely melted. Add the vanilla and salt. Stir to mix.
  • Add the cereal and broken cookies and stir until all the rice cereal and cookies are coated in the marshmallow mixture.
  • Place the mixture into the prepared pan. Place a sheet of waxed or parchment paper on top and use a large spoon (or your hands) to evenly spread out the mixture. The waxed paper will prevent the marshmallow mixture from sticking to the spoon or your hands.
  • When cool, cut into squares or use a cookie cutter to cut shapes. Store in an airtight container. These bars will last about 3 days.

Notes

Troubleshooting

This recipe makes a crispy, chewy bar. If your finished bars are hard and difficult to break instead of chewy, the heat was probably too high when melting the butter and marshmallows. Be sure to use low heat and remove the butter-marshmallow mixture from the heat just before all the marshmallows are melted.

Regular Marshmallows vs. Mini

Mini-sized marshmallows melt the fastest. However, you may substitute large marshmallows for miniature marshmallows. Use the same number of ounces listed in the recipe. Cut large marshmallows into smaller pieces for easier melting.
