Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo Cookies, about 20 cookies
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 18 regular marshmallows, about 2 cups
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
- ¾ cup chocolate malt powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Garnish
- 1 cup crushed malted milk balls, like Whoppers
Instructions
Crust
- Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, including up the sides.
- In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and melted butter. Make sure to get every crumb coated with butter. Firmly press into the bottom of the baking dish. Transfer the crust to the refrigerator to chill as you prepare the filling.
Filling
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add the marshmallows, chocolate chips, and salt. Stir until the marshmallows are just melted. (Be careful not to overcook the mixture; cooking at too high of heat or for too long will cause the marshmallows to harden.) Remove from heat and set aside to cool (5-8 minutes). As the mixture cools, it will become thick and sticky.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, malt powder, and vanilla until smooth.
- Switch to the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Continue to whisk until fully combined.
- Add the marshmallow mixture to the whipped cream, mixing until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it into an even layer.
- Top with crushed malted candy.
- Chill the bars in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or until set, before cutting and serving.
