Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup crumbled Mint Oreo Cookies
  • 1/2 cup chocolate pieces (chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 12 drops green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal and crumbled Mint Oreo Cookies. Set this mixture aside for later.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter carefully. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and you have a smooth, sticky mixture.
  3. Add Flavor and Color: Stir in the mint extract into the melted marshmallow mixture. If you want a festive touch, add 1-2 drops of green food coloring and mix well to evenly distribute the color.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the bowl containing the Rice Krispies and Oreo crumb mix. Stir thoroughly until all the cereal and cookie crumbs are thoroughly coated in the marshmallow mixture.
  5. Mix in Chocolate Pieces: Gently fold the chocolate pieces into the combined mixture to ensure they are well incorporated without melting.
  6. Press into Pan: Transfer the sticky mixture to a lightly greased 8×8 inch pan. Using wax or parchment paper, press down firmly and evenly to form a compact, flat layer.
  7. Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature. To speed up the process, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until firm.
  8. Cut and Serve: Once fully cooled and set, cut the rice krispie mixture into squares and serve as a delicious snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best melting consistency.
  • If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, you can add up to 1 teaspoon of mint extract.
  • Green food coloring is optional but helps create a fun grasshopper-themed look.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold their shape when cut.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
