A few summers ago while we were in Maine for vacation, one of the kids asked us to buy cookie butter. Most of us had never heard of it, but we’re so glad we got it!!
Cookie butter is a delicious, creamy spread made from Belgian Speculoos cookies. The most popular brand is Biscoff, and I only know these cookies from being given to me on airplanes. If you have never tried cookie butter before, and you like softbread cookies, I recommend you go to your local grocery store this week and get a jar. Yum! Since being enlightened to cookie butter, my son and I have paired it with pretzels, crackers, other cookies, chips, bread, even fruit. My son was starting to eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon, so I thought it was time I find some baking recipes that have it.
One of the simplest recipes are Cookie Butter Rice Krispie treats! They’re pretty much like the traditional treats, you just add creamy cookie butter!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup cookie butter
- 6 cups crisped rice cereal
- 1 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter and cookie butter
- Add cereal and stir good enough to coat all of the cereal
- Turn off the heat and add marshmallows. Stir to combine.
- Pour into a 9 x 13 glass pan and let cool before cutting and serving.
Enjoy!
