Soft, chewy and chocolatey. I think that's good enough, don't you. I love the sweet creaminess from the Oreo cookies and how chewy they are. Simple and delicious--and no bake, perfect for summer. These bars are essentially made like Rice Krispies Treats, subbing in cookie crumbs for the cereal. My friend Kate had a birthday last month, so I knew I needed to send her some treats. She loved these bars, texting me the morning of her happy day proclaiming she had Cookies & Cream Bars for breakfast.
Like any good friend trying to figure out what the birthday girl would like, I stalked her Pinterest board...and found a recipe that I had pinned. Which was perfect, because I really did want to try these treats from Sweet Pea's Kitchen. Christina had a really good idea for these bars and I'm thinking of taking it further, perhaps using Nutter Butters for a full on peanut butter chewy bar. But this time around, I stuck with the original only adjusting to use Double Stuf Oreos. I think they extra cream from the cookies balanced the intensity of the chocolate very well. If you need a treat for a summer gathering but are loathe to turn on the oven, make it easy on yourself and whip up these bars.
