Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups crushed Oreo cookies about 20 cookies
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, for crust
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups regular marshmallows about 18 marshmallows
  • 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 0.75 cup chocolate malt powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup crushed malted milk balls like Whoppers

Preparation Steps

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the sides to overhang for easy removal.
  • In a small bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add marshmallows, chocolate chips, and salt. Stir until marshmallows are just melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-8 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, chocolate malt powder, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Switch to the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low, pour in the heavy cream. Whip until the mixture is light, fluffy, and fully combined.
  • Gradually fold the cooled marshmallow-chocolate mixture into the whipped cream base. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading it into an even layer. Sprinkle the top with crushed malted milk balls.
  • Refrigerate the bars for 3-4 hours, or until completely set. Lift out with parchment, slice into squares, and serve cold.

Notes

For best results, chill the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
