Rice Krispies Coal Treats made with Rice Krispies and Oreos are the perfect fun recipe for your holiday cooking!
We had so much fun making these rice krispies coal treats – the Josie and Stephen thought it was hilarious and couldn’t wait to “trick” people. As for flavor, these are about a billion times better than the regular version. And that’s coming from someone who loves the original! They’re just so cookies and cream and delicious, The Oreos really add a great dimension of flavor.
Rice Krispies Coal Treats come together quickly and are a great recipe to get the little ones involved in. My four year old did pouring and stirring, while my six year old taste tested the marshmallows and Oreos. Hah!
