I decided to start this working from home thing with a bang.
5:15am wake-up
6 am INSANITY workout
6:45 try not to die while writing my blog post
I feel the 3pm exhaustion coming on already. Luckily, in a time like that, there are super easy desserts to make that have everyone falling in love. Seriously. I brought these Vanilla Cookie Krispie Treats to my sister’s birthday party and her friends all thought I was a culinary genius. I tried to explain to them that they took about 15 minutes of work from start to finish but they just wouldn’t believe me. Guess I’ll just have to continue to look like a kitchen rockstar even when I’m unable to move.
Vanilla Cookie Krispie Treats {Gluten-Free}
Serves 20
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 10.5 -ounce bag marshmallows
3 cups gluten-free rice krispies
3 cups roughly chopped gluten-free vanilla sandwich cookies (about 20 cookies)
Directions:
Spray a 13×9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat
Stir in marshmallows until melted (will take several minutes)
Remove from heat and stir in cereal and cookies until completely coated
Press into prepared baking dish; wax paper helps to press the mixture down minimal sticking
Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving; store in an air-tight container for up to a 5 days
These are great! I just want to take a BIG bite out of one. Mmm! ;D Congrats on your first day at home! :D
WHat a fun gluten free spin! Love these!
Hurrah for you first day working from home! If it was me, I’d probably still be in bed so I think you’re off to a great start.
These look absolutely delicious, I love the crunch of adding the cookies in there too!
Those look wonderful, Lauren. A great GF treat.
I love easy desserts like these! Great recipe :D
Very jealous of your first day working from home! Reckon I’d be exactly the same, starting off in a blur of eager excitement and burning myself out. Just pop one of these in your mouth for energy and you’ll be fine though – they look like a pretty good sugar rush!
Haha so I guess Insanity is pretty intense? :P
It’s okay…I can’t really move either. We can walk around looking like 80 year old cripples together!
These rice krispies treats sound amazing! The addition of the sandwich cookies is kind of genius.
Oooh, what an intriguing idea :) I love rice krispie treats, so these, I am sure, would be delicious, too.
I made golden grahams smores/RKTreats about 6 months ago but I baked them and did baked bars, rather than no-bake. I love how QUICK yours are! And gooey!
I totally kind of envy your ability to get up and get things going without having little people in your way. Someday! But my lil ones would definitely adore these treats!!
Ohhh delicious! I like to keep gluten-free goodie recipes bookmarked just in case–since ciliac’s runs in my family and my cousins didn’t know they had it until their 20s. Scary, but all the good options make me a little less scared :)
These are so fun, enjoy your “first day”!
I want 10 of these in my lunchbox tomorrow please, mmk?!
:)
Love how easy and quick these are. They look delicious!
Jealous!! You picked an absolutely gorgeous day for your first one at home :) So happy for you. These look fantastic! Great idea to add the cookies into it!
Krispie treats are ever so popular at our house… Love the addition of the cookies!!
Working from home rules, doesn’t it? I love this simple and delicious dessert. It’s the perfect end of a busy work day at home.
Sounds like you kicked working from homes butt! These krispie treats look gooey and delicious!
haha, I love feeling SO great in the morning but then yes, I definitely crash right around 3pm as well- wish I had these to pick me up!
You totally kicked day one of the new career booty :) I love rice krispie add-ins…they definitely make a simple dessert new and impressive.
Sweet and crunchy…just the way I want my snacks to be. =) Thanks for the recipe!
Treats like this are the reason I do things like spin class twice a week and p90x haha. IDK if I am ready for Insanity yet though. Great treat for your first day working from home!
DANG these look fantastic. enjoy your first day!

I love rice crispes treats! And the added cookie sounds great!
Gluten Free? I’m in love! These look amazing – thank you for sharing! :)
Wow you work out at 6am! I would die!! I’m sooo not a morning person, getting up before 6:30 is definitely torture for me! These treats sound delicious, the vanilla sandwich cookies are an awesome addition!
