These Oreo Rice Krispies Treats take me right back to childhood with the gooey marshmallows combined with cereal + Oreo cookies! Such an easy way to level up the classic Rice Krispies Treat – and yes, you definitely want to use the Double Stuf Oreos!!
I’m a sucker for Rice Krispies Treats, like most people that live on planet Earth. 😉
Levelling Up Our RKT Game!
Whether we’re stuffing them in lunch boxes, serving them up at a party, or just sneaking one for ourselves after the kids go to bed, Rice Krispies Treats always hit.
We leveled things up a bit by adding in chunks of Oreo cookies and extra marshmallows.
These turn out sweet and gooey with little pops of crunchy chocolate and creamy Oreo filling hiding throughout.
Oreo Rice Krispies are an actual dream come true.
We have a few Rice Krispies treats recipes on the site, including Pumpkin Rice Krispies Treats, Christmas Rice Krispies Treats, and Browned Butter Rice Krispies Treats. And I’m not done yet…there are a few more variations planned for the coming months. Hope you’re as excited about that as I am.
3 Reasons You’ll Love This Recipe:
- Quick & Easy: Ready in minutes with no baking required.
- Cookies & Cream Bliss: Your childhood dreams are finally coming true with the addition of our fav cookie!
- Perfect for Sharing: They’re crowd-pleasing favorites at parties, potlucks, or family get-togethers. But no judgement from me if you hoard them for yourself either!
Ingredient Notes:
Rice Krispies Cereal – The classic, but if you haven’t tried making cereal treats with Chex, you’re missing out! We’ve tested this recipe multiple times and multiple ways (we want perfection when it comes to a RKT) and it works perfectly with either cereal!
Marshmallow – While you can use full-sized marshmallows, we think that mini marshmallows work best for this recipe. After they’re melted, you’ll stir in an extra handful to add little pops of not-so-melty marshmallow throughout the Oreo Rice Krispies Treats. Really takes things over the top.
Oreos – This should come as no surprise, but we prefer the Double Stuf Oreo Cookies. You can’t go wrong with extra filling, but regular Oreos are fine too.
Vanilla – We like to add vanilla extract to our RKT’s to amp up that flavor, but it’s fine to skip it.

Karly’s Tips & Tricks:
Have you ever gone to the trouble of making Rice Krispies Treats only to have them turn out crunchy and hard instead of soft and gooey? I can help!
Be sure to cook the marshmallow mixture until it’s JUST melted. Overcooking the marshmallows is what causes it to harden up and causes a crunchy final product.
When it’s time to press the rice krispies treats with Oreos into the dish, spray a piece of wax or parchment paper with non-stick spray and lay it flat (oiled side down) over the cereal. Use your hands to press it all into place with no mess.
Recipe FAQs:
These Oreo Rice Krispies Treats can be stored at room temperature in a sealed container for 2-3 days. We often go longer, but the texture does change a bit the longer they sit!
You can freeze the Oreo Rice Krispies Treats for about two to three months. First slice the treats into bars or squares and wrap each one in plastic wrap or wax paper before sealing in a freezer bag.
Adding too much butter or marshmallow can result in a soggy and/or sticky cereal treat. Adding too little will result in a hard and crunchy treat. We’ve tested the ratios here for the ultimate Rice Krispies Treats with just the right amount of gooey goodness.
