Cookies and Cream Crispie Treats

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I've been trying your many suggestions for keeping this little cutie pie safe from the "love" of her two year old brother. The past couple days have actually been significantly better and I am praying it is a pattern of good things to come.

I made the mistake this afternoon of going to the store hungry. Never a good thing for me because somehow a package of Oreos magically appeared in my cart. When I got home, I knew I better do something with them before I ate them all. I decided to give these cookies a whirl and now I have a whole new problem. The leftovers are on top of my fridge calling to me.
These are a very indulgent form of a rice crispie treat and I loved indulging in them after dinner tonight! I will definitely be making them again, but probably just drizzle on the white chocolate instead of dipping them. They were amazing as is and I love how they look, but I prefer my crispie treats not quite so rich. If you love Oreos and rice crispie treats, you have to give these a try!
