Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Ingredients
16 oz marshmallows regular or mini – about 8 cups mini
½ cup unsalted butter
Small pinch of salt
5 cups crispy rice cereal
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
16 Oreo cookies roughly crushed

Method

1. Prep Your Pan

Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly coat it with nonstick spray. Set aside.

2. Melt the Base

Place butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Let it melt fully, stirring often so it doesn’t brown. Add marshmallows and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until smooth and completely melted. Don’t walk away—marshmallows burn fast! Remove from heat right away.

3. Mix in the Crunch

Pour in the cereal and crushed Oreos. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated with the gooey mixture.

4. Add the Peanut Butter Swirl

Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for about 10–15 seconds until slightly runny. Drizzle it over the mixture, then fold lightly. Keep it swirled, not fully blended—those ribbons of peanut butter are gold.

5. Press & Set

Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula (lightly greased) to press it into an even layer. Sprinkle extra Oreo pieces or drizzle more peanut butter on top if you’re feeling fancy.

6. Cool & Slice

Let it sit for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares. Then dig in!

Notes

🤔 What Are Peanut Butter Oreo Rice Krispies?

Think of classic Rice Krispie treats—but upgraded. You get gooey marshmallow bars packed with crunchy cereal, chunks of Oreos, and swirls of peanut butter. It’s that iconic sweet-salty combo (yes, like dipping Oreos in peanut butter 👀) turned into one ridiculously good dessert.

💡 Useful Tips

Low heat is key—overheating makes treats hard instead of soft.
Grease your spatula or hands to prevent sticking.
Press gently, not firmly—this keeps the texture light and chewy.

Swap Oreos for golden Oreos or chocolate chip cookies

For longer storage, refrigerate up to 1 week (bring to room temp before serving)
Freeze individually wrapped bars for up to 2 months
Thaw at room temperature—no microwave needed

❓ FAQs

Can I use marshmallow fluff instead?
Yes, but the texture will be softer and slightly stickier.

Can I make this in a bigger pan?
Absolutely—use a 9×13 pan for thinner bars.

Can I skip the Oreos?
You can, but… why would you? 😄
