Create your own easy Cookies and Cream Dream bars! Did we mention, these are only 3 ingredients and a blast for the kids to make?!
If you’re looking for a quick, last minute snack that you can throw together as a treat for after school, in addition to lunches or to bring to a potluck, you’ll love these easy cookies and cream bars. The kids enjoy helping with these (who doesn’t like to smash cookies?!)
You’ll Need:
1 (16 oz) package Oreos, crushed
1 Package Mini Marshmallows
¼ cup butter
(Optional 4th ingredient- Chocolate)
Line an 8×8 baking dish with foil or parchment paper.
Combine marshmallows and butter in a large, microwave safe bowl and microwave until butter is melted and marshmallows are soft and puffy.
Fold the crushed Oreos into the mixture until well combined. Transfer the mixture into baking dish and let set, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the dish with edges of foil or paper. Cut into squares, serve and enjoy!
If you want to add pretty chocolate swirls on the top or chocolate drizzle you can melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe mug for 20 seconds, remove, stir, repeat until melted and then lightly drizzle the chocolate over the cut bars. Let the chocolate cool and set before stacking the bars.
If you’d like to create a Layered Look for the bars:
Melt 2 Tbs of Butter and combine with 1/3 of the crushed oreo cookies, press this layer in the bottom of the 8″x8″ pan.
Melt 1/4 cup butter and 1 package of mini marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth. Add the remaining crushed Oreos, mixing well, then transfer the mixture onto the crushed cookie base. Let it cool completely.
If you want to add pretty chocolate swirls on the top or chocolate drizzle you can melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe mug for 20 seconds, remove, stir, repeat until melted and then lightly drizzle the chocolate over the cut bars. Let the chocolate cool and set before stacking the bars.
