Oreo Rice Krispi Treats

Rice Krispi Treats were one of my favorite childhood sweets.  I asked for them at least once every 2 weeks.  When I was in high school, my friends would come over and sometimes we would be real pigs and make some batches and eat them hot, straight from the bowl.  {Who has time to press them into a pan and wait for them to cool, anyway?}  When I was in college, my mom would make a big pan for me whenever I came home for the weekend or a holiday.  Needless to say they are still one of my favorite sweets.

As far as sweets go, rice krispi treats are not that bad for you, which was always part of their appeal to me. {Umm, but yeah, eating a whole batch straight from the bowl doesn’t exactly make them a healthy choice...I get it.}  However, these Oreo Rice Krispi Treats are not the norm.  These are full-on decadent with a cup’s worth of crushed double stuffed Oreos, white chocolate drizzle and more crushed Oreo topping.  Save this treat for something special -- it probably shouldn’t be eaten straight from the bowl. {Dangerous!}

5 c. Rice Krispi cereal

1 (10.5oz) bag mini marshmallows

4 tbsp butter, softened

4. Place white chocolate in microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each 30 seconds, until the chocolate is melted.  Drizzle chocolate over Rice Krispi Treats then top with crushed oreos, pressing oreos into chocolate so they stick.
