Equipment
- 1 Large Saucepan
- 1 Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 9x13-inch baking dish (greased or lined with parchment)
- 1 Wax paper or spatula (for pressing the mixture evenly)
- 1 Small piping bag or zip-top bag (for melted chocolate/icing, optional)
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup Crushed Oreos (~6 cookies)
- 1/2 cup Vanilla protein powder
- For decoration: candy eyes, melted chocolate or black icing for decorating the mouths
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla protein powder until well combined.
- Add the Rice Krispies and crushed Oreos to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until the cereal and Oreos are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch pan, using a spatula or wax paper to flatten it evenly.
- While the Rice Krispies are still slightly warm, press the candy eyes into the surface to create spooky faces.
- Use the melted chocolate or black icing to draw little mouths on each treat to complete the faces.
- Allow to cool for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
For an extra spooky twist, use Halloween-themed Rice Krispies or add orange and black sprinkles before the mixture sets.
To make them even more festive, you can dye the marshmallow mixture with a bit of green or purple food coloring.
You can also substitute the vanilla protein powder with another flavor, such as chocolate or cookies and cream, to mix up the taste.
