I picked up a bag of Marshmallow Crispy
Oreos the other day. I was intrigued as to what to do with them. They sat on
the kitchen counter for a while so I could look at them as I was thinking about
the best way to use them (other than sitting down and eating the entire
package!). That is how I usually do things. So I decided to make these Rice
Krispie Balls on a stick, but with a little twist. The inside ball is pure rice
krispie, but the outside is covered with a mixture of marshmallow flavored
candy melts and the inside cream of the oreos. The crumble on the top is the
outside of the oreo, but crushed. The result is a rice krispie palooza!
Oreo Rice Krispie Balls
Pan Spray
7 ounce jar Marshmallow
Cream
3 tablespoons Butter
6 cups Rice
Krispie Cereal
10 ounce bag Mini
Marshmallows
1 package
of Oreo Marshmallow Crispy Cookies
1 package
of Marshmallow flavored Candy Melts
Cookie/Candy
Sticks
These are
the cookies, if you haven't seen them yet.
Separate
the tops and bottoms from the cream of the cookies.
Crush the
cookie tops and bottoms in your food processor.
If you
don't have one available to you, place the cookies
in a zip
lock bag, and crush them by rolling
over them
with a rolling pin.
Whenever I make these I spray vegetable spray on
the utensils I will be using. This helps with clean up.
I started with the basic rice krispie recipe, except I used
a jar of marshmallow creme in place of the marshmallows.
I have been told that the marshmallow creme made the treats
moister and softer. Melt the butter in a large pot on medium low.
Add the marshmallow creme, stirring until it is smooth.
Take your pan off the heat.
Add your rice krispies. At this point, the marshmallow cream
was not enough to even cover the cereal, so I melted butter and a
bag of mini marshmallows in another pan, and then
poured the melted marshmallows into the pot and mixed.
It covered beautifully.
Make small balls of cereal and place a stick in each one.
Using a double boiler, place the marshmallow flavored
candy melts on the stove on low. Add the creme filling
that you removed from the cookies. Mix together.
I found that the candy melts got slightly thick when
mixed with the filling. I put a few drops of vegetable oil
into the mix and it thinned up a little. To coat the
balls, use a small spreading knife and cover the balls
with the melted mix. It goes quickly.
Don't allow your coating to get too hot. If it does, it will
go on fine, but it will begin too heat up the rice krispie ball,
and it will start to break apart, melting the marshmallow in the ball.
As each ball is covered, sprinkle the crushed
cookie over the ball.
You have to have somewhere to go with the pops
so they can set up. They can be frozen or refrigerated.
This is what I rigged up in my fridge. This is 2 cooling racks
on top of a baking pan. It worked great.
I also tried freezing some. That also worked.
These were a big hit. The inside of the marshmallow balls
were moist and easy to eat. The outside with the
cream filling mixed with the candy melts and topped with
the crushed cookie added a great flavor.
