I don’t know what it is, but rice crispy treats never fail. No matter how many other delicious desserts I make, rice crispy treats disappear the fastest. Is it nostalgia? Even when I change up the flavor profile they still vanish. Not that I am complaining – Making food for people is my love language.

A few weeks ago at a local bake sale, I had four different options: therapy brownies, sprinkle chocolate chip cookies, mojito sugar cookies, and snickerdoodle rice crispy treats. I will give you one guess as to which sold out first.

Last night I brought this peanut butter Oreo version to our neighborhood Friday HH, and sure enough out of 24 bars only 2 came home – mostly because I wanted to make sure my husband got to try them since he was unable to attend.

True, this is not the first time I’ve made a peanut butter rice crispy treat, far from it. I’ve made chocolate peanut butter, Elvis fluffernutter, white chocolate peanut butter cup, and even a version that looks like a buckeye. But I’ve never made one with Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies mixed in!

Literally all you have to do is add 1/2 cup peanut butter and somewhere around 16 chopped Oreos into the traditional recipe and viola, this hard-to-resist treat has been born. But maybe make a double batch if you want any for yourself – ha!

Even though my husband devoured the last two the moment I returned home with them last night, I could easily make another batch today, since it is #PBchocSat and you know I have to have a new treat for every Buckeye Football game!
