About Cookie Monster Rice Krispie Treats

Like all Rice Krispie treats, these cookie monster Rice Krispie treats are easy to make. Some of the differences with this recipe include the use of browned butter to add extra flavor.

In addition to the classic mixture of melted butter and marshmallows, this recipe also includes sweetened condensed milk. Make sure you use condensed and not evaporated milk. You want the added sweetness and thicker consistency that comes from the condensed milk.

And now let’s talk about what makes these cookie monster Rice Krispie treats. Blue food coloring gives the cookies the classic cookie monster coloring. And since he loves cookies, these rice cereal treats are loaded with extra cookies.

Step by Step Process

I used crushed Chip Ahoys and Oreos, but you can mix-in your favorite cookies. And while you could opt for homemade cookies, I recommend sticking with the store bought versions. You need the crunch and texture that the store bought cookies offer.

To make these cookie monster Rice Krispie treats, start by putting 6 cups rice crispy cereal in a large bowl and set it aside. Spray a 9″x11″ pan with cooking spray, or coat it with butter. Set the pan aside.

Now it’s time to brown the butter. Add 2 sticks of butter to a large saucepan and heat over medium heat until the butter turns brown, and gives off a nutty aroma.

Add the bag of marshmallows to the melted butter. Continue heating the mixture, stirring occasionally. It takes a little while for the marshmallows to melt and to mix together with the butter. Just be patient as it does come together into a creamy, and smooth mixture. After the marshmallows have melted, add 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk to the mixture.

Remove the mixture from the heat and add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Then add the blue food coloring. Add as many drops as it takes to achieve the color you’d like. I found that mine turned out a little more green once I added the cereal, so I recommend to err on the side of making the mixture extra blue.

Once the mixture is blended, pour it into the bowl with the Rice Krispie mix. Quickly stir the mixture together.

Add 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, 3/4 cup crushed Chip Ahoy cookies, and 3/4 of crushed Oreos. Mix to combine it all together.

Place the rice crispy mixture into the pan and press it down so that it’s even. Then top the cookie monster Rice Krispie treats with the remaining cookie crumbs, and white chocolate. Press down slightly so that the toppings adhere to the treats.

These cookie monster Rice Krispie treats are a sweet treat to make anytime, but I think that they make great bake sale treats. Or, a dessert to use for a kids party. Kids love the color, crunch, and extra cookies in these crispy treats.

One of my favorite rice cereal treats is my family’s recipe for Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie treats (aka Scotcheroos). And if you want another cookie monster recipe to try, you’ll love these Cookie Monster drop cookies.
