Chewy. Gooey. Delicious. These Gooey Oreo Rice Krispie Treats are a tasty twist on your childhood favourite Rice Krispy squares! Speckled with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and marshmallows, these treats are irresistible!
Ingredients
- 1 package (400g or ~16 oz) Mini Marshmallows reserve 2 cups for addition at the end!
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter + extra for greasing pan!
- 6 cups Puffed Rice Cereal such as Rice Krispies
- 10 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies such as Oreos, plus an extra 4-6 for topping
- 1/2 cup White Chocolate
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Flaked Salt
Instructions
- Generously grease an 8 x 8 baking pan with butter. Set aside.
- Crush your chocolate sandwich cookies in a sealed zippered bag with a rolling pin (note: alternatively you can pulse in a food processor).
- In a large pot, add marshmallows and butter (note: be sure to reserve 2 cups of marshmallows for mixing in at the end). Melt over medium-low heat, mixing constantly. Once marshmallows are melted, remove from heat.
- Add vanilla extract and salt, stir.
- Add puffed rice cereal, crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, and remaining marshmallows. Stir fairly quickly until all ingredients are evenly distributed and then transfer to your greased baking pan. Using a piece of plastic wrap that has been buttered, press the Oreo Rice Krispy Treats into your prepared pan.
- Melt your white chocolate in a microwave safe container until 3/4 of chocolate is melted. Continue mixing your chocolate until all is melted. Pour melted chocolate over surface of Oreo Rice Krispie treats. Spread over Rice Krispie treats.
- Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo pieces on top of melted chocolate layer.
- Cool at room temperature until surface feels firm (~1 hour).
- Cut into 12 to 16 pieces and enjoy!
Optional Decoration
- Funfetti: Add your favourite, colourful sprinkles to your Rice Krispie Treats either during mixing, just after pressing into baking pan, or after coating in melted chocolate!

Notes
Sofia’s Tips:
- Looking to add colour to these treats?! Gel food colourings can be added to the melted marshmallow mixture prior to mixing with the puffed rice cereal
- Why are my Rice Krispie Treats so HARD? This is usually because too much cereal has been added for the amount of marshmallow in the recipe. To avoid this, be sure to measure your cereal amounts!
- How do I prevent the marshmallow from sticking to me? I recommend generously buttering all baking pans, knives, hands, and plastic wrap to ensure you don’t stick to your Rice Krispie treats! As the treats set, they can be wrapped in plastic wrap and unwrapped when ready to enjoy them!
- These Gooey Oreo Rice Krispie Treats can last in an air-tight container for 2-3 days at room temperature or 6 weeks frozen.
