Oreo Rice Krispies Treat Bars are the Snack You Never Knew You Needed

By Megan Barnard at Boston University

Rice Krispie Treats and Oreos are both classic after school snacks. So, it obviously makes sense to combine the two into Oreo Rice Krispies bars.

Mixing different candies or cookies into Rice Krispies Treats is nothing new, but these bars are special because they are layered, and have the option to mix in things like M&M's too.

There are two main components to the bars, an Oreo cookie crumble, and a Rice Krispies layer made extra special with Oreo filling mixed in. This makes the Rice Krispies layer extra sweet, and adds an Oreo flavor without mixing in huge pieces of cookie.

Rice Krispie Treats are best eaten the day they are made, so invite all of your friends over. If you eat them all yourself, no judgement passed here, they're addictive.
