Cookie Dough Rice Krispie Treats

Yes! Yes! These need to happen in your kitchen!

I realized in my about page that I never said my favorite things to eat. This is a kitchen blog after all! (he-he) Oh well! I’ll tell you now. Let’s see… my favorite dessert besides pie is rice krispie treats, so naturally, when I saw cookie dough rice krispie treats I was overly excited. I couldn’t even wait until afternoon to make these. I whipped these up in less than an hour this morning and boy were they good. My family totally loved the combo. I got the original recipe at this site: http://ambitionskitchen.blogspot.com/2010/10/cookie-dough-rice-krispie-treats.html, but I altered it some. Below is the version I made.

Cookie Dough Rice Krispie Treats

Eggless Cookie Dough:

In medium bowl, combine
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
3/4 C. sugar
1/2 C. (1 stick) softened butter
2 tsp. vanilla
7-8 Tbsp. milk (dough should be sticky)
Mix until creamy

In seperate bowl, combine
1 3/4 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 C. mini chocolate chips
Add this dry mixture to creamy mixture. Mix until well combined. Set aside

Rice Krispies:

2 Tbsp. butter*
10 oz. mini marshmellows
6 C. Rice Krispies cereal

In large pan, melt butter over medium low heat. Lower temperature to low and add marshmellows. Stir occassionally until melted and smooth. Turn off heat and add rice kripies cereal and stir until coated evenly with marshmellow mixture.
*This is reduced from the recipe you will find on the Rice Krispies box

Spray an 8×11 pan with non stick spray

Press half of the rice krispie treat mixture in bottom of pan by wetting hands with water and pressing the rice krispies evenly. Press all of the cookie dough evenly on top of rice krispie treat base. Top with remaining rice krisipie treat mixture, by pressing evenly with wet hands. Set aside until completely set; approx. 45 minutes. (After these set in the fridge I drizzled them with melted chocolate!) Cut into bars.

Enjoy! My family sure did!
