OREO Rice Krispie Treats

Load up your marshmallow cereal treats with bits of chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies to make the most amazing OREO Rice Krispie Treats ever!

To make these cookie-filled treats, you'll start by making a batch of our award-winning Rice Krispie Treats which have the perfect ratio of butter, marshmallows, and cereal.

Then, to give these treats a lovely cookies 'n cream flavor, you'll add some creamy white chocolate and lots of OREO Cookies.

The crunchy chocolate cookies filled with vanilla cream pair beautifully with the ooey, gooey, buttery marshmallow-coated cereal. Plus the white chocolate gives these treats a little something extra special.

Don't they look amazing? They are crispy and crunchy and perfectly chewy.

They are a fantastic treat to make for an afternoon snack or dessert tonight and they will be a huge hit at your next bake sale.

You can have a whole pan of these OREO rice crispy treats made in about 15 minutes. So, let's get started.

Ingredients

OREO Cookies

• You'll break up 16 original OREO Cookies to blend with the marshmallow crispy treats. 
• If you like more vanilla cream, feel free to use Double Stuf OREO Cookies or Mega Stuf OREO Cookies.
• Nabisco is constantly coming out with new OREO cookie flavors like Mint Flavor Cream OREO Cookies, Peanut Butter Cream OREO Cookies, or Carrot Cake OREO Cookies, so have fun making a variety of treats. 

Rice Krispies Cereal

• We tested a variety of crisp rice cereals and we recommend using the original Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal for the best flavor and texture. 
• See our taste test results where we compared a variety of cereals, here. 

Marshmallows

• You can use 10 ounces of any brand of marshmallows you like to make this recipe but we recommend using Kraft Jet-Puffed for the best flavor and texture. We found that store-brand marshmallows make stickier treats so you may want to toss in a bit more cereal if you use them. 
• Always use the freshest marshmallows you have on hand. Fresh marshmallows make more delicately chewy treats. 
• If you can't find a 10-ounce bag of marshmallows you can usually use 40 regular-size OR 6 cups of mini marshmallows. Different brands of marshmallows do weigh different amounts. See our Marshmallow Conversion Chart for weights and measurements of most marshmallow brands.

Butter

• We have found that European-style salted butter provides the best flavor in our cereal treats recipes. You'll be amazed at the difference good butter will make in this recipe.
• In our taste test, we found that 4 tablespoons (¼ cup, ½ stick, 56.7 grams) of butter will give the treats the richest flavor. 
• We recommend using KeriGold or President Butter but Kroger Private Selection French-style Butter is great too. 

White Chocolate

• By adding ⅓ cup of white chocolate chips to this recipe, your treats will have a wonderful cookies and cream flavor to them. 
• You can skip it if you prefer not to use it. It won't really make a big difference in the texture of the treats. 

Supplies

• medium-large saucepan
• 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan 
• large mixing bowl
• silicone spatula or large mixing spoon
• butter or cooking spray to grease your pan, bowl, and spatula (I prefer the flavor of butter, but the non-stick spray works too.)

Let's make OREO Cookie Rice Krispie squares.

Instructions

Stove Top Method

1. Grease an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with either butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. Pour 4 tablespoons of European Salted Butter*, ⅓ cup white chocolate chips (if using), and 10 ounces of mini or regular-sized marshmallows into a large saucepan.
3. Set the pan over low heat and stir often, until about 75% of the marshmallows are melted.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir until all the marshmallows and white chocolate melt.
5. Stir in 4 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal and 14 OREO Cookies, broken into pieces.
6. Gently press the cereal treats into the prepared pan.
7. Break up 2 more OREO Cookies and add them on top of the treats in spots where there are no cookies.
8. Let the treats cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into 16 squares.
9. Enjoy!

Microwave Method

1. Combine 4 tablespoons of European Salted Butter*, ⅓ cup white chocolate chips (if using), and 10 ounces of mini or regular-sized marshmallows.
2. Heat on high power for 1 minute then remove and stir until the marshmallows and white chocolate chips begin to melt.
3. Heat for additional 15 seconds then let the bowl sit in the microwave for a minute before removing.
4. Stir until the marshmallows and white chocolate melt and blend together with the butter.
   • Keep stirring! The heat from the melted marshmallows will continue to melt the bits of marshmallows that remain.
   • Of course, every microwave heats differently so at this point if your marshmallows are still not fully melted you can heat for 15-second bursts of high power, stirring after each until fully melted.
   • Just be careful to not overheat the marshmallows. If they get too hot they will become more like hard candy and will create hard rice Krispie treats.
5. Stir in 4 cups of Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal and 14 OREO Cookies that are broken into small pieces.
6. Gently press the cereal treats into a prepared pan.
7. Immediately break up 2 more OREO Cookies and press the pieces on top of the cereal treats, adding them where there are no cookie chunks.
8. Set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 16 squares.
