MY OREO COAL MAKES THE NAUGHTY LIST LOOK PRETTY GOOD
If I’m getting coal in my stocking this year, I hope it’s at least made of Oreos. Oreo coal is possibly the most decadent version of a marshmallow treat that I’ve ever had. With only three ingredients, it’s also incredibly easy to throw together. I used a family-size pack of Oreos for this recipe because, let’s face it, you’re going to want to have extras of these on hand. Bring these to your next holiday gathering or use them to fill up your family's stockings this year—Oreo coal makes the naughty list look pretty good.
These last pretty well in the fridge, so you can make them up to 4 days ahead and store them in an airtight container.

Yields: 20 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 48
Oreos (from one family-size package), divided
- 1/2 c.
(1 stick) unsalted butter
- 3 1/2 c.
mini marshmallows (about 7 oz.)
- 1/4 tsp.
kosher salt
Directions
- Place 38 Oreos in a plastic bag. Using a rolling pin or heavy skillet, crush to a fine powder. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Scrape frosting off remaining 10 Oreos; discard (or chef’s snack!). Transfer wafers to same bag and crush to a fine powder.
- In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows and salt and cook, whisking constantly, until marshmallows are melted, about 1 minute.
- Using a rubber spatula, mix in crushed Oreos from bowl (not from bag) until combined. Scrape into a medium bowl and let cool slightly.
- Scoop Oreo mixture into balls (about 2 Tbsp. each). Roll in remaining crushed Oreos in bag. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let sit about 10 minutes before serving.
