Happy almost Valentine’s Day!

Do you have fun plans?  We’re hosting a fun couples potluck on Saturday night, and I am really looking forward to it.  It’s also pretty amusing to try and explain the holiday to Henry.  He currently thinks that Valentine’s Day is all about eating chocolate and Daddy giving Mommy a pretty necklace (I’m hoping that works its way through the family grapevine…).

 

Here’s a sweet and simple recipe for you!

I saw this concept on Facebook while pregnant and in the middle of my serious Rice Krispy Treats.  Somehow I managed to hold off on making them until now.  They were as good as I thought they’d be!  Enjoy!

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 5 cups of Rice Krispy Treats cereal
  • 10 Oreos, crushed (I used a GF kind)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 package marshmallows

 

Directions:

 

  • In a large pot on top of the stove, melt butter and marshmallows completely.
  • Add in Oreos and Rice Krispy Treats. Mix thoroughly.
  • Press into 9 by 9 inch greased pan, let cool completely before cutting.
  • Serve and enjoy!

    It’s supposed to be frigid here this weekend and we think going out for Vday is overrated, so we’ll be hibernating and enjoying some home cooked chicken parm and veggie lasagne! Those rice crispy treats look amazing, yum 🙂

    Oh, yum! Those look soooooo good! And always add sprinkles. 🙂

    Rice Krispy Treats are one of those things that I will never grow out of loving. Over the years my tastes have become a lot more mature where most foods are concerned, but if there is a dessert table with rice krispy treats, i’ll go straight for them every time.

    This looks SO yummy!

    These look yummy! What kind of vegetarian marshmallows do you use? I have a hard time finding them.

    I can crush a pan of rice krispie treats. Seriously. It’s scary how fast I can inhale them.

    I’ve been on a big rice krispy treat kick lately because I’m breastfeeding (so, HUNGRY) though my little one appears to be sensitive to dairy (& soy) in my diet. These are so easy to make with dairy-free, soy-free “butter”. I like to make them with a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and I also always stir in a handful – or four – of mini marshmallows with the cereal so that you have some marshmallowy goodness that isn’t totally melted. yum 🙂

    My sister’s got a date, and I’m trying to get everyone else out of the house, so I can watch a movie in peace. It’s not looking good. My parents hate going out on V-Day, because it’s so busy. I am tempted to take myself to the Holland Arts Center, where the Omaha Symphony will be playing music from Pixar films.

    If you liked those, you should try using all oreos instead of rice crispies! OMG, they are DELICIOUS!

    We are going out Friday night, and then not doing as much on Saturday, as we have to get ready for Mexico!! We’re flying out Sunday!!

    Yep, as suspected, I shouldn’t have clicked on this post due to the nature of the title! These things look too darn good! Now you need to try to make these with the new Red Velvet Oreos…then I can definitely be your Valentine! hahaha!

    If only all mom’s taught their son’s that was what Valentine’s Day was all about…all of us women would be a lot better off! 🙂
