Chewy No-Bake Cookies & Cream Treats.

I'm at it again...baking that is. Pinterest style {if you haven't noticed, I'm obsessed}.

I found this and HAD to try it. Oreos, butter, and marshmallows. Like rice crispy treats, but better {or so I thought}. I'm having friends over for dinner tomorrow night and thought I'd make it for dessert. I chose it because they can be easily transported {to Carlsbad} this weekend so the {extended} fam could enjoy too {or so was the plan}.

I melted. I stirred. I added. I stirred. And then I made the first mistake: I followed the directions. The directions said to put tin foil in the dish. It said nothing about greasing it and since I've never worked with foil like that, I didn't really think to. Big mistake. Big. Huge.

It was so incredibly hard to get the foil off the bottom of the treats. I spent a couple minutes working on it and then made my second mistake. Not really thinking {is this a trend today or what?} I flipped it over, but, not wanting to make a mess, I placed it on a paper towel instead of directly on the counter. Big mistake. Big. Huge.

This is what happened:


















FAIL. So this is what happened next:

























Yup, that's right. Straight to the trash. I was able to save a few, but didn't have the patience to save the rest. If they were to-die-for, I would have. But really? I could have lived my life without trying them. Not that they were terrible...just not delish.

So, I'm searching Pinterest for another recipe since I'm dessert-less for my dinner party tomorrow night...
