Why You Need To Make cookies And Cream Rice Krispies
Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned rice krispie treat? These are a classic recipe but with an added bonus. They look fancy but are so easy to whip up. They are a sure crown pleasure and they can easily be made vegan. This recipe keeps well in the fridge, you can make them a night or two before needed which makes them the ultimate entertaining treat.
Ingredients Needed
Mini Marshmallows. Or Marshmallow Fluff. Both work great.
Rice Krispie Cereal. Or a similar brand will work
Salted Butter. Vegan butter also works great
Maple Syrup. Just a little
Vanilla Extract.
Oreo Cookies. or a similar brand
Steps To Make
Step one. In a large pot (6 quart), melt the butter on medium/low heat. Add in the mini marshmallows or marshmallow fluff followed by the vanilla and maple syrup. One everything has melted together, turn heat to low.
Step two. Crush up Oreo cookies in hands over the pot, add to the marshmallow mix. Mix well and stir in rice krispie cereal. Mix well. Turn heat off.
Step three. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Add the entire mix to the square dish. Lightly press down all the mix so it reaches every corner. Be careful to not press too hard, the harder you pack the treat mix, the harder it will be to bite through when serving.
Step four. Pop into the fridge for about 10 minutes or up to 24 hours before slicing and serving.

Hi Faith!
I have the substitution amounts in the recipe under notes. Let me know if you have any more questions and I hope you enjoy!
Is there a reason for the maple syrup in this recipe or can it be omitted? Does it help it to stick together or something? Just wondering because it seems like it’s almost unnecessary, like it might make it too sweet or just taste different. Just thought I should ask! Btw, this was the only oreo rice krispie treat recipe that I could find that had a marshmallow fluff option so thanks!
Hey there! Yes you can omit the maple syrup, I love the flavor it brings but not necessary. Enjoy, let me know what you think.
