These Oreo Rice Krispie Treats are a classic lunch box snack for the kiddos this school year! It’s like two treats in one!
So how has the transition from summer to back to school been guys?
Any bumps in the road, or is everything going as smooth as peanut butter?
I’d say silk, but this is a food blog, so let’s go with peanut butter, mmmmk?
I always hated back to school time. I know everyone’s all about schedules and routine, but I really missed my boys.
And I’m going to admit it, and as a food blogger it might sound a little strange, but I hated packing lunches. There I said it.
I think if I had to do it all over again, I’d be much better at it now.
School lunches have come a long way since my boys were young. Snazzier containers, healthier options that kids seem to enjoy and irresistible snacks.
But some things never go out of style, like the classic rice krispie treat. And today’s Oreo Rice Krispie Treats are like two treats in one!
Buttery, marshmallowy treats studded with irresistible Oreo’s are sure to be a hit with the kiddos this season!
And they’ll be a hit with mom and dad too, because they only take minutes and a handful of ingredients to make. Take it from me you’ll need the extra time to brush up on those 5th grade math skills!
Enjoy!
A Few Cook’s Notes for Oreo Rice Krispie Treats Recipe:
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.
Oreo Rice Krispie Treats
Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- 6 Tbsp. butter
- 1 10-oz. bag mini marshmallows
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
- 3 cups Oreo Cookies, crushed into smallish pieces (about 16-18 cookies)
Instructions
- Lightly spray an 8x8 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving a bit of an overhang on all sides for easy removal. Spray parchment lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add marshmallows and stir with a rubber spatula until melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the rice krispies and crushed cookies until well combined. Quickly spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, just press down lightly on top of treats to even out.
- Let the pan cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Lift the treats from the pan by the parchment paper. Cut into squares. Store in airtight container.
I would love to find one (or two!) of these in my lunch box! And I feel your sentiment about back to school Mary Ann. I too missed my girl like crazy during the day! Love your site and your recipes. Have a great week! Fondly, Mary

I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I’d be willing to go back to school (for a day or two at most) if I had a few of these in my lunch. They look amazing! I can never resist Rice Krispie 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!
Going to send these to my freshman at Virginia Tech!
Yay! He’s going to LOVE them!
I love rice krispie treats, so I’m loving your Oreo version! Such a great treat that I’d love to have on my counter right now :) Will be trying these!
They hit the sweet spot Jennifer!
Such a great treat idea – for both big and little kids alike! :) Yum!

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!
