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:

  1. 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.
