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 latestchocolate 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 myFroot Loop Cake last week?

Hi! Could I use Choc Ripple Biscuits instead of Oreos? Thank you as always for your amazing recipes 😊

Absolutely! You might need to get a touch more butter – just add it until the biscuits are soft and moist and can hold their shape when pressed.

I was excited to try, but the Oreo cookie crust separated from the top layer leaving a mess. Good flavor but. Or what I expected to happen.

Hi JP, sorry to hear that. It sounds like the chocolate may have started to set before it was spread properly over the Oreo crust. You really need to work fast here. Alternatively, try adding a little extra chocolate next time!
