Instructions:

Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8x2 inch or 9×9-inch baking pan and set it aside.
-
Chop Oreo Cookies: Take 8 of the Oreo cookies and coarsely chop them into small pieces. Set these aside for later use.
-
Crush Remaining Cookies: Finely crush the remaining 26 Oreo cookies. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Ensure they are finely crushed for the perfect texture.
-
Mix Cookies and Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter. Stir until well mixed, forming a crumbly mixture.
-
Press Mixture Into Pan: Transfer the cookie and butter mixture into the greased baking pan. Press it firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust layer.
-
Add Marshmallow Creme: Spread the marshmallow creme evenly over the crust, leaving about 1/2 inch of space from the edges.
-
Layer Toppings: Sprinkle the chocolate chips, walnuts, and the coarsely chopped Oreo cookies over the marshmallow layer. Press them gently into the marshmallow creme.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the marshmallow creme puffs slightly and the edges are golden brown.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the Oreo Crunch Bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
-
Serve: Once cooled, cut the bars into desired shapes, such as triangles or squares. Serve and enjoy the deliciousness!
