Oreo Rice Krispie treats are the perfect no bake dessert that can be shared with family and friends. Gooey marshmallow swims between Rice Krispie cereal and chopped chunks of chocolatey Oreo cookies. They are a super easy 4 ingredient dessert that you have to run and make!

Recipe Highlights

• How they taste: Oreo rice krispie treats when made correctly are super gooey from the melted marshmallows. The Rice Krispie cereal along with the chopped Oreos provide a wonderful crunch in every bite. You get the vanilla flavors of the cereal, the buttery flavor from the marshmallow and the chocolatey and creamy bites from the Oreos. Everything works perfectly in this easy no bake dessert recipe.
• Skill level: Rice Krispie treats are super easy! They are so easy, they are a perfect recipe to make with the kids.
• Storage: Oreo Rice Krispie treats are counter top only. They aren’t meant to be frozen either but more on that topic below.

Ingredient tips

• Cookies: Oreo is always putting out new versions. The recipe is made with the classic Oreo cookie. However, feel free to have fun with your favorite Oreo’s. For example, I am personally waiting for the red velvet Oreo’s to make a return to remake this recipe.
• Marshmallow: Mini marshmallows are used and I recommend them. They serve to add the extra bits of marshmallows without being too heavy or sweet. As you can see in the photos, the mini marshmallows make a extra gooey bite in the Oreo Rice Krispie treats.
• Butter: This is an important ingredient in flavor and texture. Whether you use salted or unsalted is personal preference.
• Rice cereal: There is a brand name that we normally use but off brands will work just as well.

Chef’s tips

• Press the Oreo Rice Krispie treats in the pan but not too hard. You want them to be a little loose, they make better bites that way. The store-bought ones are pressed super tightly, if that’s your preference go for it. But, when you don’t press them as tight the marshmallow stays looser and results in more gooey and softer bites.
• Be sure that when mixing the melted butter and the marshmallow they are perfectly combined. You can mess up the Rice Krispie treats if they aren’t combine properly. It won’t show up until later when the butter starts to separate as the mix is cooling. It can make the Rice Krispie treats oily.
• Line the pan, if you don’t you will have a horribly time trying to remove them. It won’t matter if the pan is non-stick because you aren’t baking them.
• Do not rush the cooling process. Allow them to cool naturally on the counter top. If you try to put them in the fridge to rush them they will turn out hard.

How To Make Oreo Rice Krispie Treats

1. Start by crushing up the Oreo cookies.
2. In a pot on medium to low heat, add in the butter. Allow the butter to melt, then add in the marshmallows and begin to stir. Continue until combined.
3. Once melted, add in the rice cereal, Oreo’s and mini marshmallows. Mix until everything is together.
4. Now, press the mixture into the baking dish.
5. Allow to sit and cool so that they are harden. Once cooled, lift them out of the pan, slice, then serve.

Storage

Oreo Rice Krispie treats need to be kept on the counter or at least at room temperature. Putting them in the fridge will make the rock hard and they won’t be gooey at all. They are also not meant to be frozen. They will be fine on your counter in an airtight container for days. Remember, all the ingredients are extremely shelf stable.
