A fun treat for skull baby showers and skull birthday parties, these no-bake cookies and cream bars are as tasty as regular brownies but have a unique, “rock ‘n’ roll” twist that makes them perfect for skull-themed celebrations: They’re made with Oreo cookies instead of regular chocolate, so they’re black and white instead of brown! And best of all, you don’t even need to turn on the oven to make these sugary treats. Pair them with festive skull tableware from BigDotofHapiness.com and you’ll have a themed dessert that everyone will love!
Ingredients:
- One 16-ounce package of Oreo cookies
- 5 cups large marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons butter
Directions:
- Butter an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan, then line the pan with parchment paper. Let the parchment paper extend up and over the pan’s sides, then butter the paper as well. Set aside.
- Using a food processor or blender, pulse the Oreo cookies until they’re completely crushed.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, warm the butter and marshmallows in the microwave until the butter is melted and the marshmallows are puffed (about 2 minutes).
- Stir in the ground Oreo cookies until combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking pan and use a piece of wax paper to gently press the mixture evenly into the pan. (Tip: Spray your spoon or spatula with cooking spray before using it to scoop the mixture from the bowl to the pan; this will help prevent the marshmallows from sticking too much to the scoop.)
- Let set until cool, then store in an airtight container in room temperature until serving.
