Back-to-School Cookies & Cream Lunchbox Treats
These delicious cookies and cream treats are the perfect addition to any lunchbox. Crispy, sweet, and packed with Oreo goodness!
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking pan
- Large Pot
- Rolling Pin
- Greased spatula
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons salted butter plus extra for greasing
- 15 oz mini marshmallows divided (7.5 cups total)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups crisped rice cereal
- 15 Oreo cookies crushed into pieces
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter.
- Place Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have small pieces (not powder). If you want, sift out the finest crumbs through a strainer to keep the treats from turning gray.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the 6 tablespoons of butter. Add 10 oz (about 5 cups) of the mini marshmallows and stir often until completely melted.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, then add the cereal and mix until well coated.
- Quickly fold in the remaining marshmallows and the crushed Oreos – just until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Use a greased spatula to gently spread it evenly. Don’t press down hard or the treats will become tough.
- Let cool completely at room temperature, then cut into 20 squares and pack into lunchboxes!
