    Cookie Butter Rice Krispy Treats - Recipe Diaries

    These rice krispie treats are loaded with cookie butter from Trader Joe's. If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, you can always use Biscoff spread. You can find it at Wal-mart and it's usually by the peanut butter.

    I'm finally out of cookie butter and must stock up at Trader Joe's this weekend. Their cookie butter is so good, you can just eat it with a spoon. They also have these Speculoos (sp?) candy bars. It's cookie butter inside dark chocolate. The last of my cookie butter went into these rice crispy treats and what a great addition that was. Cookie butter and rice crispy treats, you can't go wrong. Add some extra marshmallows and drizzle some chocolate on top!

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Marshmallows   -  Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows 10 oz bag 

    Butter  - melted 

    Rice Krispie Cereal   - or any generic version of the same cereal

    How to make Rice Krispie Treats 

    You can print off the full recipe below. 

    1. Stovetop method: In a large pot, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and keep stirring until they are melted together on medium high heat. Once the marshmallows and butter have melted, stir in the cookie butter spread. Then add in 5 cups of the rice crispy cereal . Add in the ½ cup of mini marshmallows and stir. Not until they're melted though.
    2. Microwave method: Add butter and bag of marshmallows to a medium-large microwave safe bowl. Set the microwave for 1 minute. Mix everything together and check to see if the marshmallows need a little bit longer to cook. Add in cookie butter, then rice crispy cereal.
    3. Spray an 8X8 pan with non stick spray and spread the cereal and marshmallow mixture into the pan. Let the treats cool for 30 minutes.
    4. Melt some chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on high for 1 minute. Drizzle on cereal treats.

      I understand your concern. I updated the instructions and even added instructions for the microwave. Thanks.

      I think that rewording the directions to say “cook the butter and marshmallows until the butter is melted and the marshmallows are soft” would be more clear. I, too, cooked my marshmallow/butter mix until melted and by then it was quite stiff and hard to stir.

      I'm not sure what you did wrong because I wasn't there to help out. 🙁 My guess is the marshmallows were cooked for too long.
