Cookies & Cream Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispie Treats re-done!  These cookie-filled treats are made with marshmallows, condensed milk and Oreos, and then iced with a white chocolate fudge frosting.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day this weekend.  I did, surrounded by my true loves: flour, sugar, chocolate, and sprinkles.  And Zach, of course.

This whole weekend, in fact, has been a very busy one.  I’m actually scrambling to write up this post just before Zach and I run out to a late Valentine’s dinner (It’s still Sunday evening as I write this), which is totally not really Valentine’s Day-inspired (really neither of us feels like cooking right now) so I’m leaving you quickly today with an appropriately quick and easy recipe for Cookies & Cream Rice Krispie Treats.

I can’t leave, though, without telling you how rich and gourmet these squares are (of course).

The rice krispie treats themselves are made with a small portion of condensed milk; this helps make them more solid and thick than your average rice krispie treat (and, in my opinion, makes them taste like candy squares).  Then they’re blanketed in a sweet, white chocolate fudge frosting that take these easy treats to the next level of decadence.

Even though I don’t generally have a preference for white chocolate, I chose to drizzle these squares with it because 1) the white chocolate complements the Oreo flavor rather than overpowering it and 2) it reminds me of those Cookies & Cream candy bars, which always bring back fond memories because my Dad used to stop at the gas station and bring those home for me and my sisters on his way back from work every evening.

Enjoy!
