OREO RICE KRISPY TREATS

Here are Oreo Rice Krispy Treats with the Rock Mike painted at our JAS rock painting activity.  It is the island of Tenerife with the volcano Teide in the middle and a rainbow and of course the sun.  The Elders love Rice Krispy Treats as they are a taste of home and the ingredients are a bit of a hunt here.  I found real American marshmallows at a German market here. (maybe only for the summer but I was happy to get some at a reasonable price) These are better because the local, sort of marshmallows, have a different flavor. And Oreos are a hunt also and come in small packages.   The Elders told me at District meeting today that these are the best Rice Krispy Treats that they have ever eaten.  Believe me, they are not hard to please. RKT are a quick, well loved dessert to make, so I make some version, at least once a month.  

Melt 4 T. butter in the microwave and add 1/2 tsp. vanilla.  Stir well and add 4 C. marshmallows.  Stir into the butter and microwave on high until the marshmallows are soft.  Stir until well blended.  Add 5 cups or Rice Krispies and 15 broken up Oreos and 1/2 C. white chocolate chips.  Stir until all is coated and press into a buttered 9x13 pan...and go find some missionaries.
