These Trashy Treats are OUTRAGEOUS! You have a cookie dough, Oreo stuffed krispie treat topped with chocolate covered pretzels. Salty, sweet, crunchy and creamy all in one over the top treat!
These are kind of embarrassing. Or really embarrassing.
I’m almost a little bit worried you might break up with me here today. I may have gone too far.
I’m dealing with an it’s-almost-summer-do-I-or-don’t-I-start-my-diet-tomorrow-crisis. It’s not quite warm here yet, so my legs are still safely covered behind appropriate amounts of cloth, but skirt season is on the horizon, coming closer than I would like to admit.
So do I A) Drink a protein shake and settle into a month-long hunger rage OR…
B) Completely self-sabotage and smash all of my favorite junk foods into one trashy bar and put off the protein shake until tomorrow-ish?
Obviously the answer is/was B. Forever and always.
And now, can I say that while these seem ridiculous and “overly sweet” and all that stuff that people like to say, they actually are quite delightful. Yes, they are sweet…duh. But it’s a pretty perfect combination. I mean if you’re into perfect things.
Perfect no-bake things.
You just make a pretty basic batch of krispie treats and spread them into a large pan.
Then cut the krispies in half…
Then spread some egg-free cookie dough on half.
THEN press some Oreos into the cookie dough. Glory be.
And top it with the other half of the krispie treats.
And to get really crazy I pressed some chocolate covered pretzels on top of the whole deal. You will need to give these a firm but careful press so they stick.
FYI-I didn’t grease the foil, which helps the pretzels stick.
Slice the treats into bars/squares…whatever shape you want. I used super huge mamma-jamma pretzels.
And then behold…
I think you should definitely get busy making these. We’ll worry about the diet tomorrow.

How should these beautiful creations be stored and how far in advance can they be made?
…and why not frost them so the pretzels would stick really well!!
you certainly could do that!
Wow these look like they would (will!) be super fun to make!
Totally Trashy but worth every calorie!
You are killing me with these. I’ve been reading my food (mainly desserts) blogs for months now and not have any problems resisting the temptations. But these!!! Holy Cow!! It has all my favorite food groups, crispy treats, oreos, chocolate chip raw dough, and a crunch of a salty pretzel. Curse/Bless you (in the best way possible!).
