How to make the best Cookie Crisp Marshmallow Treats:

Pour the Cookie Crisp cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Add the mini marshmallows and butter into a medium saucepan, then stir frequently over medium-low heat until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Immediately remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and pour the marshmallow mixture into your bowl of cereal.
Stir to coat the cereal evenly, then allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Lightly grease your hands with oil or water and form the Cookie Crisp treat mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet as you go.
Pour the sprinkles into a small bowl and roll each ball into the sprinkles, coating evenly. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat the process with the remaining Cookie Crisp balls.

While I love a classic Rice Krispie Treat sometimes it’s fun to mix things up. That’s where these Cookie Crisp Marshmallow Treats come into play! I wanted this Cookie Crisp twist to be nostalgic with a slightly elevated flavor. The end result? Gooey, crunchy, extra chocolatey, bite-sized marshmallow treats covered in chocolate sprinkles.

I love whipping up quick treats that are definitely going to be a crowd-pleaser, and these Cookie Crisp Marshmallow Treats fit the bill. They make such a good sweet snack, they’re the perfect sweet little pick-me-up, and who doesn’t love cereal?! It’s totally a nostalgic take on something that’s a childhood favorite for a lot of people, and I got to play with my own love for cereal, so I couldn’t be happier!

It doesn’t take long to make these, but it does require a little patience while rolling them into balls. The marshmallow coated Cookie Crisp mixture is a bit sticky, but trust me, it’s worth it! These Cookie Crisp Marshmallow Treats are amazing!

My top tips:

WORK WITH LOW HEAT: Make sure your heat is set to medium-low when melting down the butter and marshmallows. Doing this step slowly, and stirring continuously, will ensure that nothing burns, and your finished product will be super soft and chewy.
COOLING: I recommend letting the marshmallow coated cookie crisp mixture cool for 5-10 minutes before rolling it into balls. This gives the marshmallows a chance to start setting up and prevents you from burning your hands!
GREASE YOUR HANDS: It will be next to impossible to roll the cookie crisp mixture into balls unless you grease your hands with oil or lightly coat them with water. This creates a non-stick barrier and prevents the gooey marshmallow from sticking to your hands.
SPRINKLES: Feel free to use non-pareils or jimmies here – I used jimmies, but you can switch out the colors and shapes of your sprinkles for different holidays and occasions as desired!
STORING: This is one of those recipes that tastes best day of so that the cereal doesn’t become stale and lose its crunchy texture. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for 1-2 days, but again, this really is best enjoyed day of.
