Description

These Oreo Rice Krispy Treats combine the classic crispiness of rice cereal with chunks of Oreo cookies, all bound together by gooey marshmallows and topped with a smooth white chocolate drizzle. Perfect for a sweet snack or dessert, this no-bake treat is easy to make and delights Oreo lovers with every bite.


Ingredients

Base

  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Binding

  • 3 tablespoons butter, plus additional for greasing the pan
  • 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows

Topping

  • ½ cup white melting chocolate, melted


Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Generously grease a 9×9-inch pan with softened butter to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal with the roughly chopped Oreo cookies and stir gently to distribute evenly.
  3. Melt Butter: Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pot and melt over medium heat, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  4. Add Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir frequently until the marshmallows have completely melted and the mixture is smooth, then promptly remove the pot from the heat to prevent scorching.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Quickly pour the melted marshmallow mixture into the bowl containing the cereal and Oreos. Stir thoroughly yet gently to coat all the cereal and cookie pieces evenly, working rapidly before the mixture cools and sets.
  6. Press Into Pan: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula or buttered hands to press and flatten the top evenly for compact bars.
  7. Set the Treats: Allow the bars to cool and firm up at room temperature for 1 hour.
  8. Melt White Chocolate: At the 1 hour mark, melt the white melting chocolate until smooth and ready for drizzling.
  9. Cut Bars: Turn the pan over onto a cutting board and gently shake to release the treats. Using a large knife, cut into 9 squares (if using a 9×9-inch pan) or 12 squares (if using a 9×13-inch pan).
  10. Drizzle Topping: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cut bars evenly, then allow the chocolate topping to set and firm up.
  11. Serve: Once the white chocolate has hardened, the Oreo Rice Krispy Treats are ready to be served and enjoyed.

Notes

  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure the bars hold together well.
  • Work quickly when mixing the melted marshmallows with the dry ingredients as it sets fast.
  • Use softened butter to grease the pan to prevent tearing of the bars when removing.
  • You can substitute white melting chocolate with white chocolate chips melted with a teaspoon of vegetable oil if desired.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
