Cookies and Cream Rice Krispie Treats

Every now and then, my group of friends like to have a break from a bar night. This month, we decided to have a girls night in, just like a traditional lock-in from our college years. Instead of drinking games, we barbequed and watched movies. This time we rented Pirate Radio, which was a funny movie to watch while we ate our desserts. One of my friends brought brownies, while I made Cookies and Cream Rice Krispie Treats. This is a recipe that I played around with from the side of the Rice Krispie box. The verdict: Everyone enjoyed these treats.

Cookies and Cream Rice Krispie Treats
Adapted from the original rice krispie recipe on the side of the box

4 tablespoons of butter
1 package (10oz) of miniature marshmallows
4 ½ cups of Rice Krispies
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
25 Oreo cookies divided into cookie and cookie with cream
¼ cup of white chocolate chips


Before you start, divide the Oreo cookies into two piles, Cookie and Cookie with Cream. Place the Cookies into a quart freezer plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or another heavy object to make into crumbs. Make it as coarse or as fine as you like. I prefer mostly fine with a few coarse crumbs. With the other part of the cookie, cut into small pieces. I cut about 6 pieces from each part.


In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Add the vanilla and remove from heat. Add the Rice Krispies and stir until all is incorporated with the marshmallows. Add the cookies with cream into the mixture.


Using a buttered spatula or spatula sprayed with cooking spray, place the mixture into a 13”X9” pan that is lined with parchment paper and sprayed with cooking spray. Use another sheet to evenly smooth out the mixture. Place the cookie crumbs on top of the mixture while it is still sticky. Take a spoon and press the crumbs onto the top of the mixture.

When the treats are cooled, cut the treats into the size of your choice. Place the white chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and melt at 30 second intervals, stirring in-between until the chips are all melted. Put the melted chips into a freezer quart plastic bag. Snip off about 1/8 of an inch off the corner of the bag. Put a design of your choice onto each piece. I placed lines in each direction to see that pattern that you see here. Let the white chocolate harden before you eat. These treats will stay about 2-3 days in an airtight container.
