If you live in a small rural area, like we do, Cookie Butter can be near impossible to get. Amazon has been a good source of Cookie Butter, or LifeHacker shares how to make your own cookie butter with only 4 ingredients.

I have not tried their recipe yet, but it’s on the menu to try with the boys soon. Being able to make my own sure would make my life easier and cheaper.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup cookie butter
  • 1 10- ounce bag of mini marshmallows
  • 5 cups crispy rice cereal

Instructions

  1. Depending on how thick you want your treats, spray either an 8x8" or 9x13" pan with non-stick cooking spray. To make removing them easier, you can also line it with Parchment paper.
  2. Add the butter or coconut oil and cookie butter to a large pot. Melt slowly over medium heat.
  3. Turn the heat down to low and add the marshmallows. When they are just melted, remove from the heat and stir to thoroughly combine. Do not let the marshmallow mixture cook too long.
  4. Add the rice cereal and stir with a spatula until evenly coated.
  5. Pour into your prepared pan and gently press down. You can spray your fingers with the cooking spray if they stick to the top.
  6. Let sit for about 2 hours or until fully set.
  7. Cut and serve.
  8. Store in an airtight container. If they get too firm, just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds!
