Chewy No-Bake Cookies and Cream Treats

I promised the girls at my pulmonologists office a gooey chocolate treat and wanted to try this recipe.  It was a hit with them.  I also went to see my allergist to day and his office also got some.  There is a young lady working in the allergists office that doesn't like chocolate but decided these were pretty good.

This recipe comes from the recipe blog Bakergirl.  Her blog can be found at:  http://buddingbaketress.blogspot.com/2011/07/chewy-no-bake-cookies-cream-treats.html   Check it out.

Ingredients

1 16oz package of Oreo cookies
5 cups (1 bag) large marshmallows
4 Tbsp butter

Directions

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, allowing the foil to hang over the edges and set aside.

Place Oreo cookies in a food processor (or crush in a large Ziploc bag with a rolling pin) and pulse until crumbly, but not ground.

Melt marshmallows and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl until puffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.  Remove  from microwave and pour in ground cookies.  Quickly stir to combine, then transfer to baking dish.

Allow to set for 10 to 15 minutes.  Remove bars from pan by foil edges.  Cut, serve and enjoy.
