These no-bake Oreo Rice Krispie peanut butter balls are a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing treat made with just five simple ingredients. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or a late-night snack, they combine creamy peanut butter, crunchy Rice Krispies, and chocolatey Oreo crumbs for a nostalgic, irresistible bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Oreo cookies (about 230g), crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal (25g)
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (180g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28g), softened
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (175g)
  • Optional: pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanut butter)
  • Optional: sprinkles or chopped nuts for topping
  • Optional: mini chocolate chips for extra chocolate

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Add 20 Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Alternatively, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until sandy.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreos, Rice Krispies, and creamy peanut butter. Add softened butter. Stir together with a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined. If the mixture feels too dry, add a tablespoon more peanut butter.
  3. Shape the Balls: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll each into a ball between your hands (about 1 to 1.5-inch balls). Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate or freeze the balls for 20–30 minutes until firm (or 10 minutes in the freezer if short on time).
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and melted (about 1–1.5 minutes total). Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
  6. Dip the Balls: Using two forks, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, turning to coat. Let excess chocolate drip off, then return to the parchment-lined sheet. Add sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or chopped nuts before the chocolate sets, if desired.
  7. Set and Serve: Let the chocolate set completely—about 15–20 minutes in the fridge or 30 minutes at room temperature. Once set, transfer to a plate and enjoy!

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free sandwich cookies and certified gluten-free crispy rice cereal. For nut-free, substitute sunflower seed butter. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. Chill the balls before dipping for best results. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to two months. Add toppings like sprinkles or chopped nuts before the chocolate sets for extra flair.
