I’m going to attend a family gathering this weekend, and there will be a bunch of youngins’ in attendance. In a perfect world, they would go crazy for my acorn squash soup or a fall salad, but let’s not fool ourselves. All they want is sugar. Sugar, sugar, and more sugar. Actually, the adults crave a bit of sugar at parties, too. These pumpkin spice rice krispies with Oreos will be a crowd pleaser, don’t you think? While we’re on the subject of Oreos, are you a cream or a cookie kind of person? Me? I think the cookie is far superior. I will take an Oreo, cut it in half, and scrape off the cream just so I can enjoy my cookie unadulterated by the white stuff. One of my old roommates used to look at me with disapproval when I removed the cream with surgical precision. She even refused to share one of her Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s with me because she knew about my ways. In the words of Michelle Tanner from Full House, “How Rude!” I don’t know about you, but I can never pry open an Oreo cookie gracefully. In the commercials, you often see people twisting open the Oreos with ease, both cookies still in tact. Whenever I try to do the same, all I end up with are broken pieces of Oreos and a ton of crumbs. Perhaps I need to work on those Oreo twisting skills. To make these delicious treats, here’s what you’ll need: Did you enjoy rice krispies as a kid?
