Trashy Rice Crispy Treats

Today’s outrageous recipe for Trashy Rice Crispy Treats is a bit of a stretch from what I usually like to post. Typically I share recipes made from scratch, and this recipe uses a lot of pre-made or packaged goodies. These Trashy Rice Crispy Treats were actually a request from my younger brother for his 19th birthday. He has been addicted to the packaged rice crispy treats lately and when I saw him eating one, I offered to make him some. Even “homemade” rice crispy treats are better than the pre-made store-bought kind! He texted me a request for birthday rice crispy treats that literally said, “Rice crispy treats with fudge and sprinkles and peanut butter and chocolate and Oreos.” I laughed but proceeded to make these ridiculous treats, thinking about what I would even call them. “Teenage Boy Treats” came to mind but then that sounded a bit… creepy. So I went with Trashy Treats because they are so trashed up with basically every type of treat and sweet thing you can add in.

A quick note about the recipe. I chopped my Oreos a little too big for the treats, which caused them to be slightly more crumbly than I would have liked. Be sure to chop them small enough so they won’t prohibit the treats from forming into neat little bars, but big enough that they add a nice bite.
