How to Make Oreo Rice Krispies Treats
Step One: Crush the Cookies

- Add the Oreo cookies to a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or something similar. Set aside.
Step Two: Melt the Marshmallows
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the cups of marshmallows and continue to cook, stirring frequently until the marshmallows are melted.
Step Three: Add the Cereal and Cookies
- Remove from the heat, then, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix the crushed Oreo cookie pieces and rice Krispie cereal into the melted marshmallows.
Step Four: Allow to Set and Serve
- Press the cereal and melted marshmallow mixture in an even layer into the 9×13 prepared pan and smooth out evenly.
- Allow the crispy treats to set for about an hour or until room temperature, then cut into squares and enjoy.
Storage Instructions
To keep your crispy cereal treats fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container or wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap. This will prevent them from drying out and ensure they stay gooey and chewy. Keep the container at room temperature, and they should stay fresh for up to a week.
Freezing Leftovers
Though they are better when they are freshly made, you can freeze them for up to a month. Wrap each treat individually in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Variations and Add-ins
- Vanilla extract- Add a little bit of extra flavor with a splash of vanilla extract.
- White chocolate chips- Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate over the tips of our gooey marshmallow treats or mix them into the cereal mixture for chocolatey bits in every bite.
- Different types of Oreos- Experiment with golden Oreos, peanut butter Oreos, Double Stuf Oreo cookies, or Mint Oreos for different flavors.
- Texture- Leave some Oreo cookie chunks larger for added texture, or fold in extra marshmallows to create gooey pockets.
- Other cereal options– Substitute regular Rice Krispies with Cocoa Krispies or any other crispy rice cereal to change up the flavor profile.
Oreo Krispie Treats FAQS
Yes, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture, like I did with these Watermelon Treats, before adding the cereal to customize the treats for any occasion. Orange would be great for Halloween or pink for Valentine’s Day.
Absolutely! These treats can be made a day or two in advance. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for the best freshness.
Yes, you can substitute marshmallow fluff, though they may be a little softer than when you use marshmallows. Use about 1 1/2 cups of marshmallow fluff for every 10 ounces of miniature marshmallows called for in the recipe.
