Ingredients
  • Bars
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 package regular-sized marshmallows
  • 5 cups puffed rice cereal (brown puffed rice cereal works as well)
  • 1 1/2 cups broken chocolate sandwich cookies

  • Frosting
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter (room temperature)
  • 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Frosting
Place all ingredients in an electric mixer bowl, and beat at high speed until very creamy. Set aside.

Bars
In a large skillet, melt butter on low-medium heat. Once butter has melted, add marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and mixed with butter. Add rice cereal and cookie pieces, and stir until thoroughly mixed. Quickly remove mixture and place in buttered casserole dish. Using a rubber spatula, press down on the rice cereal mixture until it the surface is flat (Hint: Spread a little butter on the spatula so it won't stick to the rice cereal mixture). Allow to cool completely. Once cooled, spread frosting evenly over top. Cut into pieces of any shape and size according to your preference.
