Morning around here just got a little better and, well, so did their school lunch dessert. I was looking for some inspiration for a bake sale friendly idea and when I stumbled upon this new cereal, Oreo O’s, at my local Shop-Rite. I knew what I wanted to make instantly- Oreo Squares. Of course, I grabbed a couple of boxes so I could hold up my best.mom.ever. title at home.
Ingredients for Oreo Squares:
- 7 Cups Oreo O’s cereal
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 4 Cups mini marshmallows (10 oz. pkg.)
- Pan spray
- Wax paper (optional)
Over low heat on stovetop melt butter in a pan, then add in marshmallows. Stir until fully melted. Sometimes I find it helpful to use the spoon I’m stirring with to squish and flatten to marshmallows. Once thoroughly mixed and melted add in Oreo O’s slowly. Mix well until all cereal is fully coated.
Add cereal mixture to baking pan. If I’m making these for home, I make them in a 9×9 baker, but if I were making these for a crowd, I would use a 9×13 pan and make a thinner oreo square. You can use a buttered spoon, but I find it easiest to use a piece of wax paper over the top to flatten. Remove wax paper, let cool.
Here is where coating the pan well is essential. If you do it right, you can flip them right over onto a cutting board. If they get stuck, just use a spatula to release them slowly. If they are sufficiently cooled, the Oreo Squares should retain their shape.
Use a large serrated knife to cut into squares. Hide if not serving immediately. These are delicious and once discovered by little hands they tend to disappear.
Here’s a printable version of the Oreo Squares recipe:

These look sinful! They would be a delicious variation on regular Rice Krispie treats.
Great idea, for some reason I always just did rice krispies but I guess any cereal and marshmallows should work.

This recipe sounds delicious. I will make during the holidays for the kids.
Ok this is a silly question but; Is there any way to make these and not use marshmallows or marshmallow creme? I love both food products, but my son now does the shopping and refuses to buy me more than 1 bag a week. So I need an alternative method for making the cereal treats! Email me if you figure one out, much appreciated. 🙂
