S'moreos


S'Moreos Recipe

S'moreo's are a kicked up version of S'mores. Switch out the graham cracker and chocolate square for an Oreo cookie and Nutella. YUM! This is our new favorite campfire treat. You'll love it!

INGREDIENTS
Oreo Chocolate Sandwich cookies
Nutella
Large Marshmallows

DIRECTIONS
Carefully separate one side of the Oreo cookie and spread Nutella on one side. Roast a large marshmallow however you like it. I'm not really a fan of setting my marshmallow on fire until it's charred. I like to get the nice gooey inside and lightly brown on the outside. Place marshmallow on the other side and then slap the two together. If you like Oreo cookies, you won't regret this tasty treat!

Red, White and Blue Rice Krispie Treats


Recipe- Red, White & Blue Rice Krispie Treats

This is one of America's all-time favorite treats. Mixing in a little food coloring really makes this dessert that much more festive. We ALWAYS double the recipe just so we'll have enough to share! Below is the original recipe but I tend to add extra butter and marshmallows for added gooey-ness!

INGREDIENTS
3 T. butter
1 package (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows - OR - 4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
food coloring
sprinkles

DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
Remove from heat. Separate melted marshmallows and butter into 3 separate bowls sprayed with cooking spray. Stir in red food coloring to 1st bowl, blue food coloring to second bowl, and leave the 3rd bowl white. Add Rice Krispies cereal.  Stir until well coated. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press layered mixtures into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Add sprinkles to the top. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day.

Wash and dry strawberries. If stuffing, core out the green stem and hollow out the inside a little. Spoon in sour cream and then top with brown sugar.
