Oreo Rice Krispie Treasts

0 Line a 9”x13” baking dish with wax paper. This will make removing the crispy rice treats easy. Set aside.
1 Pour the crispy rice cereal into the large bowl, and set aside.
2 Break the Oreo cookies up with your hands into bite-sized pieces. (You can also put them into a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin if you’d rather.)
3 In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
4 Once the butter has melted, stir in the marshmallows. Continually stir until completely melted.
5 Add the splash of vanilla, and stir.
6 Pour the cereal into the marshmallow mixture, and stir quickly until the cereal is coated.
7 Add the cookie chunks, and stir until they’re scattered throughout.
8 Pour the mixture to the prepared baking pan and gently spread the mixture into an even layer with a rubber spatula. (If the mixture begins sticking, spritz the spatula with the nonstick cooking spray.) Do not press down hard on the mixture, as your treats will be more compact.
9 Let the treats cool completely, about 1 hour.
10 Cut into squares with a sharp knife, and enjoy within 2-3 days.
