There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
This time around, I made these Rice Krispy treats with Cookie Butter. 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.
