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.

Lisa A says
Hello! I want to make these for a lunch on Sunday, but I would have to make them Thursday night. If I cut them up and put them in a tightly sealed bag, will they still be good or will they be stale? We will be camping that weekend so I will not have time to make anything after Thursday. Thanks!
foodtasticmom says
So sorry for the late reply. Did you make them? I think tightly sealed they should be fine for that long. Let me know if you tried it!
Tina says
Can’t wait to try! Going to use the Halloween Oreos with the Orange filling for a fun holiday twist.
foodtasticmom says
That is so awesome! Did everyone like them? Sorry for the late reply
Paige Lawrence says
how many bags (or ounces) is 9 cups of mini marshmallows?
foodtasticmom says
It was more than one bag. I purchased two standard sized bags – maybe 1 1/2? Hope that helps!
Natalie says
Making these for the second time already. Kids fought over them! They loved them. Thanks for the recipe.
foodtasticmom says
That’s so awesome to hear. Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment!
Amber says
Hello! Just wondering if these can be cut into shapes or are they too goey for that? Thanks!
foodtasticmom says
No they are not too gooey. I’d maybe spread them thinner for cutting though – make the same size recipe but use a larger pan. Hope this helps!
Chris says
You’ll literally combined my two favourite things in the world and I know I HAVE to run to the shops and get the ingredients. Thank you 🙂

Way to make rice krispie treats into something amazing!! I love the Oreo cookies in these!
foodtasticmom says
Thanks Pam
Monica | Nourish & Fete says
These are incredible, and I currently have both some Rice Krispies and a package of Oreos in the pantry needing to be used up – coincidence!? Definitely not! 🙂 My son will think he’s died and gone to heaven. If I let him have one, that is! 😉
foodtasticmom says
Nope, not a coincidence. A happy fact! Hope you love them.
Leslie says
The only thing better than a krispy cereal treat is an oreo krispie! Delicious!

Exactly 🙂
Andrea @ Cooking with Mamma C says
Oh my gosh, my hubby and kids would be ecstatic if I made these! What a great combination! I can see why this is popular on Pinterest.
foodtasticmom says
Thanks Andrea!
Jenni LeBaron says
I love that you’ve combined two tasty classics into one. These look awesome!
foodtasticmom says
Thank you Jenni
Lindsey says
Why the salt? Just curious.
foodtasticmom says
I always add salt to sweet treats. Maybe it’s a mental thing but I feel like it balances the flavors better.
Amanda says
You don’t list when to add the oreo mixture.
foodtasticmom says
It’s there in Step 1 –
In a large bowl, mix together the Krispie cereal, crushed Oreo cookies and one cup of mini marshmallows
Courtney H. says
I only have large marshmallows. How would they measure versus the mini?
foodtasticmom says
I found this conversion chart…
https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/candy/kraft-marshmallow-conversion-chart.html
The recipe calls for a total of 9 cups of mini marshmallows. According to this chart, 8 regular (or large) marshmallows equals one cup so you’d need 72 of the large marshmallows. Hope that helps!
Emily says
I can never resist krispie treats or Oreos so these would be highly addictive! Totally pinning!
foodtasticmom says
Thank you so much for the Pin Emily!
Brian Jones says
What a great fun recipe, rice krispie cakes are such an enduring memory from my childhood and do not think I have tried them since. Maybe I should change that.
foodtasticmom says
You definitely should change that. At least once, with this recipe 🙂
Veena Azmanov says
Wow, it OREO KRISPIES looks so cute! I really like. I want to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Thank you for sharing this great recipe!

I could eat them all day – which is why I can’t make them very often 🙂 Thank you!

What great twist on Rice Krispie treats. Oreos make everything instantly better.

Yes – they have been really popular on Pinterest – people seem to love them 🙂
Danielle says
Recipe turned out great! I made them for the cookie bar at my sons first birthday and they were a hit! I cut them up and wrapped each one and stored in a Tupperware container and they were good for almost a week
foodtasticmom says
So glad to hear this! Glad you enjoyed them!
Mary Sue says
Great idea! I made them with 1/2 regular Rice Krispies & 1/2 coco krispies. So yummy!
foodtasticmom says
OK, I love the idea of using Cocoa Krispies in this recipe. Great idea!!
Sherri says
I was thinking of making them with all Coco Kristie’s? How did yours come out?
Cheri says
This may be a dumb question, but do you put the oreos whole or do you have to scrape out the cream first? Thank you!
foodtasticmom says
Not a dumb question at all. You use them whole – no need to remove the cream!
Sarah says
I decided to separate my oreos – I crushed up the cookie halves and mixed in with the cereal, then I melted the cream discs with the butter and marshmallows. The finished product still tasted amazing!
foodtasticmom says
Oh wow. What a great idea! Thank you for commenting and sharing the suggestion!
Kim Weir says
My daughter loves cookies and cream anything! I can’t wait to make these for her! Growing up we made a butterscotch version and a peanut butter version. Loved those! Can’t wait to try this one! Thank you for posting!
foodtasticmom says
You’re welcome. I am intrigued by the butterscotch version – I’m a big fan of butterscotch!
Carol Banks says
Too bad my husband doesn’t like crispie treats ’cause I had to eat these all by myself! Luckily I only made half the recipe ’cause I still would have eaten these all! I’ve always made crispie treats on a cookie sheet and put them in the fridge to harden up. And a tip to crispie novices – use vegetable spray on your mixing spoon. Thanks so much for a great recipe, it’s now filed under “favorites” .
foodtasticmom says
Love this tip – it’s a great one. I’m sorry your husband didn’t appreciate these treats – but hey, more for you! Thanks so much for coming back to comment, and for the positive review!
Miriam says
I am pulling this one out for Valentines treats for my Grands. I made them once already and thought I had died and gone to heaven! They are totally insanely delish!
I wanted to incorporate red and pink sprinkles but I haven’t used sprinkles for anything other than decorating cupcakes…would you imagine that they will they bleed as I mix it all together?
Thank You
foodtasticmom says
I’m not sure if they’d bleed or not. I personally would sprinkle them on top. You’d probably have to use less but they’ll add a really cute pop of color on top. I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe. Thanks for the comment!
Calleigh K | The Fork Bite says
My kid loves this crispy treats, I store them in a container and they would last about a week. These are so yummy and irresistible. Thanks for posting.

You’re welcome. So glad they make your kiddo happy!

foodtasticmom says
This comment is so great. Thank you!
Jason Luck says
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
foodtasticmom says
Love the additions. Thank you for the rating and feedback!
Lori P says
These were great! Next time I’ll make them in a 9×13 pan and cut some horizontally for ice cream bars.
Thanks so much for this recipe; it’s definitely a keeper!
