These Oreo Rice Krispie Treats are the BEST cereal treat I’ve ever made – they’re soft and crunchy and have the perfect amount of Oreo flavor. I knew they’d be a delicious dessert but I didn’t realize what a crowd pleaser they would be – you MUST try this easy recipe!
There’s nothing like a classic Rice Krispie treats recipe (mine has brown butter and extra marshmallows), but I’m pretty good at making different flavors (like pistachio, Fruity Pebble, or banana pudding). Now? Now Oreo Rice Krispies Treats are my absolute favorite go to – I am pretty sure it’s the only one I’m going to crave from now on.
The gooey marshmallow treats mixed with the crunchy cereal and the Oreo cookie pieces – these are an epic sweet treat. That cookies and cream flavor doesn’t overpower the cereal and marshmallows, and the cookies add the perfect texture. If you’re an Oreo fan you MUST try these!
How to Make Oreo Rice Krispie Treats
- You’ll need Rice Krispies cereal (or a similar version, even flavored, like Cocoa Krispies). Make sure it’s fresh cereal (not stale).
- Fresh marshmallows (i.e. newly purchased) is also very important – newer marshmallows melt easier than older ones.
- I adapted my normal cereal treat recipe to account for the added chopped Oreos. You do not need to remove the cream from the cookies; just coarsely chop them.
- Use ANY flavor Oreo you want (Peanut Butter Oreos would be amazing) or any brand chocolate sandwich cookies.
- You can also melt everything in the microwave instead of on the stovetop – just stop every minute our so to stir.
- Press your crispy treats mixture into the prepared pan using a rubber spatula or your hands that have been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray – be careful since the mixture is hot. You can also use the empty butter wrapper for this!
- Let the treats cool a bit before slicing.
