Notes

*Oreo rice krispie treats will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. This is not a freezer friendly recipe.

*Lot’s of “chocolate sandwich cookies” are accidentally vegan. You just need to read the ingredients. You can purchase regular Oreos, Joe Joes from Trader Joe’s or you can buy cookies from a health food store.

*This recipe requires you to work very quickly as the marshmallow mixture cools and sets quickly. Make sure you have all of your ingredients handy and measured out before you start.

*Prior to pressing the rice krispie treats down into the pan, lightly coat your hands with cooking spray. This will keep the ingredients from sticking to your hands.

*To make this recipe gluten free, simply use gluten-free Oreos!
