Milks Favorite Cookie...Bar

Oh Pinterest, how I love you. In searching for recipes the other day I stumbled across this one. I figured it would be a good one to try given that it was so easy and required fewer ingredients. In any case, these cookies and creame bars are FANTASTIC and are highly recommended. Not only are they really simple to make and require no special equipment or ingredients, but they are delicious and are a hit with any crowd (I tried them on adults and the kids in my class and everyone loved them).

First things first.

What you need:

Package of Oreos (I didn't use double stuff but I suppose you could)

Bag of marshmallows

4 tbsp of butter (and a little for greasing the pan)

1 tsp-1 tbsp vanilla

Zip lock bag (gallon sized)

A pan (doesn't really matter what size it just depends on how many bars you wanna make)

What you do:

1) Put Oreos into ziplock bag, push all the extra air out, close, and crush them onto the counter with your palm. Crush until they are small/medium crumbs. You can also use a blender for this part. Just be careful you don't get a hole in your bag. 

2) Grease pan completely with butter. Do not skip this step. Grease liberally.

3) In a medium-large pot, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium heat. 

4) Add marshmallows and stir frequently until marshmallows are melted and butter is mixed in. 

5) Add vanilla and mix completely. I used 1 tbsp. You can use however much you want or not at all. 

6) Add Oreos and stir until they are completely mixed.

7) Pour into pan and using a greased spatula spread evenly in pan. 

8) Let set about 10-20 mins and enjoy!!
