A Few Cook’s Notes for Oreo Rice Krispie Treats
I used original Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies, but if you have a favorite flavor, give them a try. I’m sure they’d be just as delicious.
When you pour the mixture into the 8×8 pan, only press down lightly on the top of the treats with a rubber spatula, that way you’ll have fluffier treats.

Lol! I’ll just stay home and eat the treats Kelsie! Not sure I could manage school all over again!
Having been a teacher I know these treats would have been a real hit with the children.
You would know for sure Gerlinde!
You’ve combined two of my favorite childhood treats into one delicious bar, Mary Ann!! These would disappear fast at any get together!!
Our two favorites also Marissa! These went fast!
I’d pack my lunch daily if I could get one of these in it,Mary Ann! I love this idea, and I imagine my fam will love it too!
I bet they will Laura! We can’t resist!
Love these jazzed up rice krispie treats!! My kids would definitely go bonkers for these! Oreo makes everything delicious!
I totally agree Katherine! I don’t know anyone who could pass up an Oreo or a rice krispie treat!

I’m a huge fan of rice krispie treats, but I have a serious weakness for oreos! So pleased that you combined both of them. These look irresistible Mary Ann! Pinned!
Swap you for one of yours this week Leanne?!
My kid will be so happy with this treat! I need to make it soon and even have jar full of oreo cookies.
Hope he loves them!
Oh my GOSH! This combination, Mare! It’s been too long since I’ve even had either… but put the two together and HELLO! In the lunch box? Such a treat to find!
Thanks Traci! These are an irresistible treat for sure!
LOL! Well, you know we don’t have any children that walk on only 2 legs, so I don’t really know about packing lunches, but I can imagine I would hate it too! However, I would love if someone packed my lunch for me and included these beautiful treats!!!! This is such a genius combination, Mare! Jeremy is a HUGE fan of Oreos so I’m totally going to have to make these… because let’s face it, no one will be packing my lunch or making me treats anytime soon. ;) Pinned!!!
Lol! I bet Jeremy would love them Chey! Thanks so much for pinning!
Two all time favorite classic treats combined! These are perfect for any age!
Agreed!
I just had to read the title and I knew these would be a hit in our household. Rice Krispies = win, Oreos = win, together = DoubleWin!
Woohoo!
Oh yeah – these are great, Mary Ann – quick and easy desserts are my favorite! I’m pinning this to remember for Halloween. Going to make them to bring into work as a treat for the holiday!
They’ll love them Geraldine! I shared them with friends the last time I made them, and they went fast!
