You’ll love these gorgeous no bake Rice Krispie Bars. With an Oreo cookie crust and a crunchy topping made with chocolate, peanut butter and Rice Krispies, it’s the perfect 6 ingredient dessert.
Crunchy peanut butter chocolate goodness ❤️
I’m here to make your Thursday just that little bit sweeter with these Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars, AKA my latest chocolate obsession.
These deliciously easy, no bake treats have a crumbly Oreo crust and crunchy choc topping made with chocolate, peanut butter and rice cereal.
I get it. Some days you don’t want to spend hours slaving away in the kitchen. I love easy desserts and no bake treats JUST as much as the next person. So when you get a treat that looks like this and only requires 6 ingredients, you know you have a winner.
Ever since I made my Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch Pie, I have been obsessed with chocolate and rice cereal. Oh actually, I think it started with my Candy Crunch Chocolate Bar.
Either way, if you haven’t tried adding melted chocolate and rice cereal together, you are missing out my friend. This stuff is PURE GOLD. So how do you take that perfect combination and make the ultimate treat?
Add peanut butter of course! So now we’ve got a sweet, salty, crunchy treat. And there was only one more way to make these bars even better. And that was by adding an Oreo crust. #heaven
So there’s really not that much more to the story. All you need to do is crush some Oreo cookies to make a cookie crust. Then melt together a mix of milk chocolate, dark chocolate and peanut butter.
Add rice cereal and away you go! A little time in the fridge and these Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars are ALL YOURS. Warning: they’re addictive!
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from American baking, it’s to never limit cereal to just breakfast. Cereal is an all-day thing and that includes dessert! Did you catch my Froot Loop Cake last week?

Ingredients

Instructions
- Lightly grease and line an 8 inch square pan with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang. Add Oreo cookies to food processor and whiz until crushed into fine crumbs. Pour over butter and mix well. Place your crumbs into your prepared pan and press down gently to form one even layer. Pop in the fridge.

I made these in mini muffin tins. Turned out awesome. I made this batch for coworkers I followed the ingredient list…but as I’m allergic to peanuts next time I will use cashew or almond butter. so I can have some. 😊
The mini muffin tins made about 30 give/take

Hi Dartha! So glad you enjoyed them! Putting them in a mini muffin tin is a great idea 🙌🏻
Just made these why did my topand bottom come apart they did stick together was a mess cutting them
Hi, thanks for your comment. I think perhaps the chocolate may have set too quickly before it had a chance to stick to the Oreo crust. Next time, make sure you use good quality chocolate and avoid chocolate melts that are designed to set very quickly. Make sure you move quickly when you come to adding the chocolate and pouring the mixture over the crust. Hope that helps!
How long will these keep for please

Hi Debbie, these keep well for 3-4 days in the fridge 😊
Use Oreo cookie’s with the middle stuff or just the Oreo cookie crumbs?
