A unique no bake treat combining the classic Oreo crunch with a savory twist of sharp cheddar cheese and spices, perfect for kids and parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 20 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 4 cups (about 100g) Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 110g), melted
  • 3 tablespoons (about 42g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a dash (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 20g), optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley, optional

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place about 20 Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs. Alternatively, crush in a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin. Set aside. (5 minutes)
  2. Prepare the melted cheese mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until cheese is fully melted and smooth. (3-4 minutes)
  3. Add seasonings: Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste into the melted cheese mixture. Mix well. (1 minute)
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreos and 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal. Toss lightly to mix evenly. (2 minutes)
  5. Mix wet and dry: Pour melted cheese mixture over Oreo and cereal blend. Gently fold together with a spatula, coating all cereal without crushing. (3 minutes)
  6. Add Parmesan and herbs: If using, sprinkle ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley into the mix. Fold gently to distribute. (1-2 minutes)
  7. Press into pan: Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer mixture and press firmly into an even layer using spatula or hands wrapped in parchment. (5 minutes)
  8. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow treats to firm up completely. (1 hour)
  9. Cut and serve: Lift parchment paper out of pan and cut into squares or rectangles. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. (5 minutes)

Notes

Melt cheese slowly in short microwave bursts to avoid clumping. Fold gently to keep cereal crispy. Chill at least 1 hour for best texture. For firmer bars, bake at 325°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes then chill. Adjust seasoning gradually to avoid over-salting. Use gluten-free Oreos and cereal for gluten-free version.
