Oreo Rice Krispies Treats: National Cereal Day

Today is National Cereal Day! Who hasn't made Rice Krispies Treats? They were very special at my house when I was growing up. We didn't have them a lot, but when we did, I loved them. I like this recipe because it takes it up a notch and adds chopped Oreos, and since yesterday was National Oreo Cookie Day, it's a two-fer.

This is a quick and easy recipe from Kraft, the maker of Rice Krispies, and it only takes 10 minutes. This may not be the healthiest of treats, but it's certainly delicious! Happy National Cereal Day!

OREO RICE KRISPIES TREATS

Ingredients
3 Tbsp butter
1 pkg (10 oz.) JET-PUFFED Marshmallows
5 cups KELLOGG’S® RICE KRISPIES® cereal
16 OREO Cookies, coarsely chopped, divided

Directions
Microwave butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 seconds or until melted. Add marshmallows; toss to coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 sec.
Add cereal and 1 cup chopped cookies; mix well.
Press onto bottom of 13 x 9 inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining chopped cookies; press lightly into cereal mixture to secure. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
