Oreo Rice Krispies Treats
Description
Oreo Rice Krispies Treats bring together the light, airy crispness of puffed rice cereal and the sweet, creamy crunch of Oreo cookies. The melted butter and marshmallows act as a glue, binding the ingredients into a cohesive bar that is soft and chewy while still maintaining a bit of crisp bite from the cereal. The Oreos contribute a chocolate cookie texture and flavor contrast throughout each bar. This recipe requires melting butter and marshmallows gently before mixing with cereal and cookie pieces, then pressing the mixture into a pan to set. Once cooled to room temperature, they hold their shape well and are easy to slice for serving.
The combination of the sweet marshmallows with the slight saltiness of the butter balances the overall flavor, while the Oreos add a familiar chocolate and cream note. These treats work well as a snack or dessert, easy to prepare without baking. Their texture and flavor appeal to both children and adults, and they hold together well without crumbling.
This recipe uses salted butter to enhance the overall sweetness and balance. The Oreos can be swapped for any Oreo flavor preferred, allowing variations to the cookie pieces within. The Rice Krispies cereal is interchangeable with similar puffed rice cereals if needed.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ cup butter salted
- 20 ounces mini marshmallows divided
- 20 Oreo cookies roughly chopped
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Add in 12 ounces of marshmallows.
- Cook over low heat just until melted, while stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat.
- Add the cereal and remaining 8 ounces of marshmallows, and stir until combined.
- Fold in chopped Oreos until combined.

Notes
- For best flavor balance, use salted butter to offset the marshmallow sweetness slightly.
- Regular Oreo cookies are recommended but feel free to try other Oreo flavors for different taste variations.
- Use a parchment-lined or greased pan to ease removal of the treats after setting.
- Allow treats to cool fully to room temperature before cutting to maintain shape and avoid crumbling.
