Recipe: Oreo Rice Crispy

This week I went a bit nuts in testing out Rice Crispy recipes. For final days and party events I made three different types in the last 3 days.  Today I'm gonna work through the recipe for one of the creations I made myself.  

I was working with the basic Kellogs Rice Crispy recipe which can be found here.  While classic Crispies are wonderful, I was looking for something with a little more pizazz!!

Thus born are my version of the Oreo Rice Crispy. 

 Ingredients in their packages. I do cheat and use off brand Oreos.  They taste the same when crushed and added to other things!  Plus they're much cheaper on average.

Here are the ingridients all measures out!

The next step is to melt the butter, add the marshmellows and let them melt.

From there, pour in the rice crispies and mix like a maniac.

Once mixed well enough, start folding in the crumbled oreos! 

Continue mixing untill your satisfied that everything is coated in melted marshmallows. 

Pour into per-greased baking dish, a 9 x 13 works well with the basic recipe.

Carefully spread to fit pan.

Important TIP!! 

Do not press heavily on the mixture when spreading into  the pan.  Heavy compression will create solid, hard to bite bricks.  Instead spread lightly, allowing for jumbled spaces.  The marshmallow should be sticky enough to hold it all together. 

Optional Step is to melt down some chocolate and pour it over the rice crispies!
