Cookies & Cream Muddy Buddies

It takes 4 ingredients and they can honestly be made in under 5 minutes! I made these twice in the last two days (yeah they are that good), the second time around I did an equal ratio of powdered sugar to Oreo and it was perfect. You might play with the ingredients to fit your tastes—more Oreo, add peanut butter, etc.

I ate these while eating cookies and cream ice cream and I think I may just like these more—that is SERIOUSLY saying something! It’s crazy that they’re SO yummy and SO easy. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Warning: the following recipe is highly addictive, prepare at your own risk.

  • Shaina How did you crush the oreos to get them fine enough? I was thinking of maybe putting them in a food processor/blender. July 21, 2016 Reply
  • gleefulreader Wow – so glad I found your recipe for these! I bought a bag on a visit to New York last week and am now dying for more and Chex Muddy Buddies aren’t available in Canada! A quick question – when you crush the Oreos, do you mean just the cookie part of the Oreos? Just asking as I would have thought the cream middle would stick to all the cookie crumbs. Thanks!
