Oreo Krispies Treats
Rice Krispies cereal combined with Oreos to create Oreo Krispies Treats! Can you think of an easier and more delicious treat?! Plus, two tips to get even better homemade Rice Krispies Treats!
Hey, hey! Happy Monday!
This one has been in the queue for a bit of time! I made them specifically for the sleepover with our neighbors, but dealing with strep and then the girls being out of school delayed this post from going up! My big girls are back to school today. I still have Juli, which makes getting work done tough, but I’ll try to type out a sentence or two between every “MOM!”
Anywho! I whipped up a batch of these Oreo Krispie Treats for the night we had a house full of kids. It’s a relatively easy recipe that can be made quickly. Unlike some other sweet treats, these don’t make a crumbly mess, so they were perfect for the kids just hanging around on the couch.
How to make the perfect Rice Krispies Treats
The generic Rice Krispies Treat recipe on the back of the cereal box calls for 3 tablespoons of butter and 4 cups of mini marshmallows. In my opinion, Rice Krispies Treats made like this turn out a little too dry and firm.
For softer, creamier homemade Rice Krispie Treats I do two things: double the butter and add more marshmallows!
Plus, to make them ever more delicious, throw in some Oreos! I love mixing Oreos into everything!
