Oreo Krispies take the classic rice krispie treat recipe and kick it up with the addition of crushed Oreo cookies plus extra marshmallows.
This is a treat that my kids beg for and it takes only about ten minutes of effort. These Oreo Krispies don’t really seem homemade because of the help they get from the cereal and cookie aisles. But trust me, they taste infinitely better than the pre-made krispie treats you can buy in the store.

In my opinion the basic rice krispie treat recipe needs a little extra oomph to really make them shine. I started with this recipe here and altered it a bit, including adding the crushed Oreo cookies. They are perfect. Extra thick with lots of marshmallow flavor. Some of the recipes I found when researching Oreo Krispies included melted white chocolate – which is fine if you are a fan of white chocolate. But I prefer the more classic flavor of the melted butter and marshmallows.
These Oreo Krispies are getting rave reviews on Pinterest. I’m floored by how many people are making them and snapping photos of their efforts. I had a recent question from a reader that I think others may wonder too:
Can you cut Oreo Krispies into shapes?
Yes! In this recipe I call for the treats to be spread in a 9-inch square pan because I wanted these Oreo Krispies to be extra indulgent. But if you spread them into a 9×13 dish they will be thinner and easier to cut using a cookie cutter. I would be sure to spray the dish with cooking spray or grease with a little extra butter to make sure the shapes are easy to remove from the dish.

That line about them not seeming homemade is exactly why these work—it’s the kind of honest shortcut that actually makes a treat feel more indulgent, not less. Love the realness in that detail.
Bri Ward says
I am going to be doubling the recipe and I am a bit stuck. How would I divide the marshmallows because doing it the regular way it said divide it 1 cup and then 8 cups so how would I divide it doubled? Would just do 2 cups and 16 cups?
foodtasticmom says
Yes you’d mix 2 cups of the marshmallows in with the Krispie cereal and crushed Oreos and then melt the remaining 16 cups in with the butter.
Stacie says
Hi! These were great! Wondering if these should go in a 9×13 pan or if you just pile it up REALLY high? I doubled the batch and came out with 2 – 9x13s. Enough to share with friends and neighbors!!
foodtasticmom says
I made mine really, really thick. 🙂 Thank for your sharing your experience so my readers know that if they double this recipe, they could get two 9×13 pans out of it. Portion control is always a good thing!!
Josiah Williams says
Thanks for the recipe. I used fudge covered Oreos to give it a little more chocolately goodness.
foodtasticmom says
I like your thinking! More chocolate is always a good idea! 🙂

This recipe was easy and fast.
I altered it by throwing 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and dark chocolate from a 1/4 of 70% dark bar smashed. And also added chocolate into marshmallows and then did mixture. Sooooo good. Thank you
