Oreo Rice Krispies Treats: National Cereal Day

Today is National Cereal Day! Who hasn't made Rice Krispies Treats? They were very special at my house when I was growing up. We didn't have them a lot, but when we did, I loved them. I like this recipe because it takes it up a notch and adds chopped Oreos, and since yesterday was National Oreo Cookie Day, it's a two-fer.

This is a quick and easy recipe from Kraft, the maker of Rice Krispies, and it only takes 10 minutes. This may not be the healthiest of treats, but it's certainly delicious! Happy National Cereal Day!
