Oreo Treats

Have you seen recipes for rice crispie style treats made with Oreos? They are ALL over Pinterest. I decided to give it a go. My first batch was with Halloween Oreos. No go. I heard someone once say that they thought the holiday Oreos had more filling that was softer, maybe that is the case. Or maybe I just used too much marshmallow. Either way, they were a mess. Had to trash them.

But….I had also bought peanut butter Oreos. These fared much better. I think I used only part of the marshmallow goo….so pour slowly while you mix until it seems the right consistency. And one bag of Oreo only makes 9 “treats.” But they are GOOD.

Make them like any other rice cripsie treat – melt 4 tbs butter with a bag of marshmallow and then pour over the Crushed Oreos.

    I made these ages ago (I’ve found that single-stuffed works best; what you really want is the crumb rather than the cream) and am OBSESSED. Just like Rice Krispie bars, I can’t let myself make them — I eat them ALL in about ten minutes. It’s mildly tragic. But the peanut butter Oreo idea is legitimately brilliant.

      I think you are right. Crumbling would work better. Next time I need to pull out the food processor!

    Yum! Tonight, we are making whole wheat brownies and for some reason, I believe they won’t be as tasty as these.

    Good lord, woman. Are you trying to kill me with your oreo love? It’s one of those things I CANNOT allow in my house. I’ll sit down with a pot of coffee and eat an entire sleeve.
