I absolutely love Rice Krispie Treats. In fact you’ll see me continually post new versions because my classic recipe is simply so good. If you can believe it these taste even better than you remember. The recipe uses brown butter to enhance the flavor, tons of vanilla extract, and let’s not forget all the crushed Oreos inside. Not only are these delicious but they come together i
Recipe tips:
- One easy mistake to make with this recipe is to crush down the mixture when adding it to the pan. You want to gently stretch it into the pan and lightly pat it level with a spatula or your hands.
- Worried about the mixture sticking to your hands? I have a tip for you: before you touch the Rice Krispies, run a few drops of water over your hands and rub them together. The water will prevent the marshmallow mixture from sticking to your hands and allow you to easily manipulate the treats without having to crush them down!
- This is made in a 9×13 pan. I like to use one with a lid (like this one) so it’s easy to pack up and take to a party or pot luck!
- I like to roughly chop the Oreos up because I want different sized chunks in there. You can also use a food processor if that’s easier!
The first time I made these I added extra white chocolate chips on the inside. If you’re a big white chocolate fan you should try it! My husband thought they were too sweet so ultimately we ended with just having the melted chocolate drizzled on top, but both were delicious 🙂
White Chocolate Oreo Rice Krispies
These White Chocolate Oreo Rice Krispies are insanely good. Super easy to make with a punch of flavor, these will quickly become one of your favorite treats to whip up!
Ingredients
For the Rice Krispies:
- 1 cup salted butter
- 21 oz mini marshmallows 2 10.5 ounce bags
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 8 cups Rice Krispies
- 20 Oreos, roughly chopped about 2 cups
Topping:
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 8 Oreos, roughly chopped about 1 cup
Instructions
For the Rice Krispies:
- Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Lightly mist with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a large pot melt your butter. Once melted, continually stir until the butter just begins to brown. The butter should foam up twice and then begin to give off almost a nutty aroma. Immediately remove from heat so the butter does not burn.
- Immediately stir in the vanilla extract. The hot mixture will bubble up, so continue to stir an additional thirty seconds until the sizzling subsides. Add in salt.
- Add in one bag or half of your marshmallows and mix until almost completely melted before adding the remaining. Stir until all of the marshmallows are entirely combined and melted. At this point, add in the Rice Krispies, 2 cups at a time, and lightly stir until combined. Continue to add the Rice Krispies until everything is evenly combined. Add in 2 cups of roughly chopped Oreos and use a spatula to fold in until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the 9×13 pan. Lightly wet your hands and gently push into the pan to the edges. You don't want to crush it, so be gentle but firm enough to press it into the pan.
For the topping:
- Add ½ cup white chocolate chips to a heat proof bowl. Microwave for 15 second intervals, stirring with a clean metal spoon in between, and repeat until completely melted. Once it's ready, set aside for 3 minutes to chill down to room temperature. Using a spoon, drizzle white chocolate onto the treats. Immediately sprinkle 1 cup of Oreos on top, cut and enjoy!
Notes
** I like to cut this dessert into 12 large slices, but feel free to cut them smaller to feed a crowd!
Brought these to a pool party! They were delicious ! Thanks for sharing your recipe
Everyone loved these and keep asking for me to make them again!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Sooo good! I don’t know if its the stickiness of it, but I tend to not like making rice krispie treats. I was craving some homemade ones so I gave it a shot and its so worth the little bit of effort. So fast to make and they came out amazing. The flavor from the brown butter was outstanding and anything with oreos is better. I made them a couple days early for my party, and I was worried that they would get a little hard but they honestly stayed super soft for the 5 days we had them in the house (air tight container room temp). I made mine halloween theme by using orange rice krispies, halloween oreos, and black candy melt to drizzle instead of white chocolate. I halved the recipe, using a 9×9 dish and still got 12 decent sized treats, which was more than enough for our 6-person party. Dying to make more of these with the leftover ingredients!
