Hi everyone! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. again. I’m back to share another fun family recipe with you all today. With as busy as it can be this time of year, I find it increasingly more & more important to scale things back where I can. Finding ways to cut back on unnecessary time doing things that take me away from the family is something I am embracing. I love making homemade treats for my family but I really don’t want to be in the kitchen all day baking & doing dishes. So the more simple I can make the goodies the more time I have to be with the kids & enjoy them. These treats certainly fit that. They are quick, tasty & easy enough that I can have the kids in the kitchen helping too. Can’t beat that! Nothing like quality family time.
No Bake Peppermint Oreo Bars
They are like a rice krispy treat- only instead of krispies- it’s OREOS. YUM!
Just look at all that marshmallow goodness all mixed together with those Oreos.
Oh my- I’m already a sucker for marshmallow anything- add Oreos & I’m done.
The pop of peppermint on top just makes these the perfect holiday time treat.
Don’t you just want to grab one?

Author: Gina Kleinworth from Kleinworth & Co.
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
1 – 16 ounce package of double stuffed Oreos
½ stick butter
10 Jumbo Marshmallows
1 – 3.5 ounce Hershey’s Candy Cane Candy Bar – rough cut
Instructions
Line an 8×8″ glass baking dish with foil or parchment & set aside. ( I typically would use parchment but in this recipe I prefer the foil instead)
Place your Oreos in food processor & pulse until you have thick crumbs. (the whole Oreo- do not take out the creamy center)
In a large bowl – combine your butter & marshmallows.
Place in microwave & cook on high 1-2 minutes. Marshmallows will puff up significantly but they need to be melted enough that they will mix when stirred.
Once melted enough- pour in your ground Oreos & start mixing until completely combined & there are no more loose crumbs at the bottom of the bowl.
Transfer to your prepared dish & press in to flatten & fill in the dish.
Sprinkle your rough chopped peppermint candy bar on top – it will get a little melted from the warmth of the bars- that’s perfect.
Cover & allow to set at room temperature 2 hours before serving.
OR you can pop in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes & then let come back to close to room temp before cutting.
