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!

I have never heard of cookie butter.

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.
Jenna says
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.
