Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick foil, leaving an inch or two of overhang on two opposite sides to lift the bars out later.
Place 36 Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. (If you already have crumbs, skip this step.)
Place the Oreo crumbs in a medium bowl. Add ½ cup salted butter (melted) and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Transfer the crumb mixture to the prepared pan and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom using the bottom of a measuring cup or a flat spatula.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, chill the pan in the refrigerator until the crust is cold and firm, at least 1 hour.
Use the foil overhang to lift the crust from the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into bars. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
