If you didn’t know, we have a whole section of our blog dedicated to rice krispie treats because we love them so much. St. Patrick’s Day is this weekend and honestly when I think about green- my mind instantly goes to mint. I realize this has nothing to do with Ireland but hey, it’s green and you get points for that.
Even with all of the amazing special edition Oreos, Mint Oreos will always be my true love. This is a super easy treat you can whip up, and if you want to make them extra green, throw some food coloring in! So one thing I think makes krispie treats extra delicious is including some whole marshmallows in the mix. So I always start by adding about 1 cup to the cereal.
Then you’ll chop up your oreos
and stir those in as well. In a separate pan on the stovetop you’ll make that magical marshmallow-butter goo and spike it with a little peppermint extract and then mix it all together.
You can adjust your pan size depending on how thick you want these. They’ll make an extra thick 8 or 9″ pan (mine shown here is about 9″) or thinner with a larger pan. I love the chunks of chocolate and soft oreo filling that’s studded through.
And of course they are ooey-gooey.
Perfect weekend treat!
