Carrots: Vegan Oreo Rice Krispies Treats

What’s better than good old Rice Krispies treats? Rice Krispies treats with Oreos. 

These are gooey and just the right amount of chocolatey. They come together in about 10 minutes and do not require turning on the oven or stove - a blessing on an 80+ degree day! 

Always a crowd pleaser, these are a treat for adults and kids alike. Best of all, they are vegan!

Here’s the recipe. 

Vegan Oreo Rice Krispies Treats

Ingredients 
2 standard bags of marshmallows 
16 Oreo cookies, crushed 
5 cups Rice Krispies cereal, or an organic puffed rice version 
1/3 cup vegan butter 

Method 
Combine the crushed Oreos and Rice Krispies in a bowl and set aside. 

Put the butter into a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about a minute. Then, add the marshmallows and microwave for 3 minutes. Stir at the 2 minute mark. 

Stir the butter and marshmallows until you have a creamy consistency. If needed, microwave for 1 minute more. Then, add the cookie cereal mixture. Stir to combine and evenly distribute the cereal and cookies. 

Pour the combined mixture into a 9x11 or similarly sized rectangular baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with coconut oil or cooking spray. Using the back of a spatula, press the top of the mixture down into the pan. 

Let cool for 30 or so minutes. Then, slice and serve. They will stay fresh at room temperature for up to a week. I like to individually wrap each bar to maximize freshness.
