    Cookie Butter Rice Krispy Treats

    Rice Krispie treats. Yes please! I loved Rice Krispie treats growing up. And I'm pretty sure we all loved it when mom made these sticky treats for us growing up.

    This is not the first time I post a Rice Krispie treat recipe. Last Halloween I posted my Spooky Halloween Rice Krispies Treats recipe. Those were a hit, especially with the kids. This time around though, I am sharing my Cookie Butter Rice Krispie Treats recipe.

    Cookie Butter Rice Krispy Treats

    Yes, you read that right, Cookie Butter. I will be the first to admit that I don't often eat or cook with Cookie Butter, but my wife loves Cookie Butter on apple slices.

    Don't worry though, the cookie butter simply adds flavor and does not alter the sticky treats we all love. You know what I mean. We all have licked our fingers after eating these delicious sticky treats. Do you ever stop and wonder who came up with some of these recipes? I decided to google this one and came across this little tidbit on Wikipedia:

    "Rice Krispies Treats were invented in 1939 by Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day at the Kellogg Company Home economics department as a fundraiser for Camp Fire Girls."

    So there you go! Consider yourself informed about the origins of Rice Krispies Treats.

      I have I always made rice crispy treats with regular ingredients but when I saw this recipe I decided to use the cookie butter. It made such a difference that I will not go back to my regular recipe.
