Classic Pine Cove Snacks

At camp, we’ve been serving up Bible study snacks for a long time. You could say we’ve almost perfected the art. Here are some recipes for some yummy snacks you could make to satisfy your sweet (or salty) tooth!

Oreo Rice Krispie Treats

Who doesn’t love a homemade Rice Krispie treat? This recipe has Oreos, but feel free to add in any candy you would like!

Ingredients

6 cups Rice Krispie cereal

15 Regular Oreos, chopped

5 cups mini marshmallows

3 Tbsp butter

Instructions

1. Spray a 9×13 dish with cooking spray.
2. Pour measured Rice Krispie Cereal into a large bowl.
3. Chop and mash Oreos. You can do this by putting them in a ziplock bag to help keep the mess under control. (You want the Oreos to be a variety of sizes from chunky to finely crushed.)
4. Add Oreos to Rice Krispie cereal and stir to combine.
5. In a medium saucepan, heat butter and marshmallows together over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they melt together.
6. Pour melted marshmallows over cereal and Oreo mixture and use a spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to quickly combine all the ingredients.
7. As soon as all the cereal is combined, spread mixture into the prepared 9×13 dish. Use the spatula to press the mixture around the dish, and flatten as needed.
