Cookie Butter Rice Krispie Bars

 

If you want a crowd pleasing dessert that's a cinch to throw together, look no further than these amazing Cookie Butter Rice Krispie Bars. A little bit of cookie butter spooned into "regular" Rice Krispie Bars, and then drizzled on top, makes an ordinary treat extraordinary.

I made these for Labor Day weekend and took them to the lake, and they disappeared very quickly. Even very discerning adults, who don't "normally" like Rice Krispie Bars were a big fan of these. And that's about the most ringing endorsement you can get.
