Cookies and Cream Krispy Treats
Everyone loves Krispy Treats! They are perfect here in Arizona, where we never want to turn on our ovens because we live in one!!! LOL, well, it feels that way sometimes. I love making Krispy Treats, and my husband loves those Oreos. So why not combine them?! Kids, young and old, will come running for these Cookies and Cream Krispy Treats!
I used to make the worst Krispy Rice Treats, not even joking here! Even the hubby didn’t like them. They were too hard or too sticky or just plain yucky. I had to do some research and testing to make good Krispy Rice Treats.
One tip I learned that has made a HUGE difference in making krispy rice treats is to keep the marshmallow to cereal ratio equal!
Another tip is not to pack the treats too much in the pan, as this makes them just plain hard.
These are just a couple of tips that have helped me make some amazing Krispy Rice treats. These Cookies and Cream Krispy Rice Treats are no exception! I had to take some to my neighbors so I wouldn’t eat the whole pan!
These are super easy to make and they only take a few ingredients!! I don’t know about you but I always have a stash of Vanilla Almond Bark and Crisp Rice cereal in my cupboard! Ok maybe you don’t! LOL!!
