sunday suppers: cookies and cream rice krispies treats

Inspired by last week's stuffed cookies I decided to use the remaining Oreo's to create Cookies and Cream Rice Krispies Treats.

Ingredients: 

6 cups Rice Krispies

1 bag of Marshmallows

1 bag of Double stuffed Oreo's

3 tablespoons butter

Let out that build up tension by mashing your Oreo's in a bag.

Line a baking dish with parchment/wax paper.  Sprinkler the crushed Oreo's along the bottom of the pan.  Set aside.

In a large pot melt butter over medium low heat.

Add marshmallows stirring continuously until melted.

Add Rice Krispies and the remaining crushed Oreo's.

Place mixture in the baking dish on top of the crushed Oreo "crust".

Flatten and let cool.

Remove from baking dish & cut into squares.

Devour.

My attempts at creating a new recipe are not always successful but this one is muy delicioso.

A repeat recipe for sure.

sunday suppers: oreo/reese's cup stuffed chocolate chip cookies

There have been quite a few posts in the blogosphere these days showcasing Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I decided my co-workers birthday was the perfect time to test out the recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 package Double Stuff Oreo cookies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter and sugars together with a mixer until well combined.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda.  Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined.   Using a cookie scoop take one scoop of cookie dough and place on top of an Oreo Cookie.  Take another scoop of dough and place on bottom of Oreo cookie.  Seal edges together by pressing and cupping in hand until Oreo cookie is enclosed with dough.  Place onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and bake cookies 9-13 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.                                  ~http://amandeleine.com/2011/02/03/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/

 To be honest... I didn't love them.
They get huge points for presentation and style but the Oreo got lost in the cookie.  You wouldn't have been able to taste it at all if you didn't use the Double Stuffed Oreo's.

 Inspired by these cookies I decided the take my own spin.  Insert Dark Chocolate Mini Reese's Cups.

Let's just say HUGE hit.  They were devoured in minutes.  It was unanimous that these were the hands down favorite of the two.  What goes together better than chocolate and peanut butter...?!
