Ingredients

6 Tbsp butter (85 g) salted or unsalted
10 oz mini marshmallow package
¼ teaspoon kosher salt optional if you use salted butter
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon pure almond extract optional
5 cups crispy rice cereal (150 g)
1 cup Apple Pie a la Mode Oreos (100 g) roughly chopped, or more according to preferences

Instructions

Line 9-inch square baking pan* with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides. This will help with unmolding later.
In a large sauce pot, melt butter over medium heat. Continue to cook once butter has melted. Stir melted butter occasionally. Mixture will bubble and foam as it cooks. Heat until mixture smells nutty and the milk solids have turned golden brown.
Reduce to low heat and immediately add in marshmallows and salt. Stir until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat. Stir in cinnamon, vanilla, and almond extract. Immediately add in cereal. Fold in chopped Oreos. Fold until contents are coated with marshmallow mixture.
Transfer to prepared baking pan. Spread and press into an even layer. Cool to room temperature (at least 30 minutes). Use parchment paper overhang to lift and unmold rice krispies treats from the pan. Place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice into desired serving sizes.

Notes

*Baking Pan Option: Use a 13 x 9-inch pan for thinner bars

Work quickly when folding the cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture. It will become more difficult to stir the contents together as the marshmallow cools and hardens.

Ingredients:

This recipe works with either salted or unsalted butter. When using salted butter, you may omit the additional salt. However, I still add salt!
Mini marshmallows melt faster and more evenly than the larger marshmallow sizes.
You may skip the brown butter part and simply use melted butter.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Overtime, it will stale and harden.
