🛒 What’s Needed for Oreo Rice Krispies Treats

• Salted butter-if you use unsalted butter, add just a small pinch of salt to cut the sweetness
• Mini marshmallows – melted marshmallows hold it all together
• Rice krispies cereal-we use the name brand kind, but you can use any rice cereal brand you prefer
• Oreo cookies-I used a combination of crushed Oreo cookies and some I broke into small pieces

How to Make Oreo Rice Krispie Treats

Step 1. Crush Oreos using a rolling pin or kitchen mallet. You’re not looking for a fine crumb, just roughly crushed crumbles, leaving some in small chunks.

Step 2. Heat butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or heavy bottom dutch oven until melted.

Step 3. When the butter is melted, add the miniature marshmallows and stir until melted.

Step 4. Remove the pan from heat and add the cereal and Oreo crumbs to the melted marshmallows. Stir until well with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until mixed.

Step 5. Transfer the cookie and gooey marshmallows mixture in an even layer to a 9×13 inch pan that you have sprayed with cooking spray or greased with butter.

Step 6. Allow the Oreo rice krispies mixture to cool on the counter for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap at room temperature for up for a week.

Do Rice Krispie Treats Need to be Refrigerated?

I don’t recommend storing these in the fridge. Part of what makes them so yummy is that gloriously gooey marshmallow pull. When you keep them in the fridge, marshmallows firm up and they won’t be as gooey. 

Can I Freeze Oreo Krispie Treats?

Rice crispy treats freeze well for up to several weeks but for best results, they are better when made fresh.

But, if you happen to have leftovers that you need to freeze, wrap the individual treats in parchment paper and place them an in an air-tight containers. To thaw, just sit them out at room temperature for about 20 minutes before you’re ready to serve them. 

Why Are My Homemade Rice Krispie Treats too Hard?

If your rice cereal treats are too hard, its usually because you pressed them too firmly into the pan. Also, make sure you’re melting the marshmallows over medium-low to low heat. Don’t be tempted to rush it up by heating them on higher temps because it can begin to cook the marshmallows which can make them harden.

Oreo Rice Krispy Treats Variations and Add-ins

Rice Krispie Cereal: We used regular rice krispies like you use in the classic treat recipe. But you can add even more chocolatey flavor buy using cocoa krispies, for a fun variation.

Cookies: Regular Oreos give you that yummy cookies and cream flavor. But if you love to experiment with different flavors, Golden Oreos or Peanut Butter Oreos are other great options.

Candy: Let the kids use their imagination by adding their favorite chocolate candies or even extra marshmallows. Add in a handful of Chocolate M&Ms or Crispy M&Ms for an extra fun twist.

Toppings: These treats are perfect the way they are, but if you want to add a special touch, melt some white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips and drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the treats.
