Rice Krispie treats take me right back to being a kid, and adding Oreos makes them even better! The crushed cookies add extra crunch and chocolatey flavor to the gooey marshmallow treats, while the chocolate topping makes them feel a little more indulgent.
They're a great no-bake treat for parties and potlucks, and the hardest part is waiting for them to set before tucking in!

Ingredients
- Butter: I used salted butter to really help enhance the chocolate flavors, but you can use unsalted.
- Mini marshmallows: Melted down to act as the glue to hold everything together.
- Rice Krispies: Or any other crispy rice cereal.
- Oreos: I used 12 Oreos, but you measure that with your heart and throw in a few more in if you like.
- Chocolate chips: Melted down for that delicious chocolate topping.
- Coconut oil: Added to the chocolate chips to make it harden quicker. You can also use vegetable oil or butter.

- I used original Oreo cookies, but you can use double stuffed if you prefer.
- Try using different flavored Oreos like mint or peanut butter.
- I don't have an overly sweet tooth, but if you prefer your squares on the sweeter side, and in a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Experiment with different add ins, M&Ms, mini marshmallows, sprinkles and freeze dried raspberries all work great!
- Skip the chocolate layer.
Frequently Asked Questions
I used an 8x8 square pan for these and the squares were pretty sizeable. If you prefer a thinner Rice Krispie treat, use a larger pan, a half sheet will work well.
Store the treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, with parchment between the layers. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Be sure to heat the marshmallows and butter on a low heat. If you melt them too quickly, that can result in hard squares. Don't use old marshmallows either as they can dry out.
