Superbowl Recipe Mashup

Hey all you sports fans and foodies! As you know the Superbowl is coming up in one week, even if you don't watch football all year it seems the Superbowl is the one football we can all stomach. And I say this because its just as much about the food and the beer, as it is the actual game. I've gone through and pulled out some recipes from previous blog posts for you to browse for YOUR Superbowl party. Some people might look at these recipes and think "Not Superbowl worthy", but you don't have to eat only Deep fried wings and nachos, not saying people don't enjoy those things because I certainly do, but why not add something a little different to the mix too!?

Oreo Squares

I never make squares, EVER! With the exception of Rice Krispie treats every once in awhile. As you know...I'm a cupcake girl. When I was doing some research for the Baby Shower Menu I stumbled upon these Oreo squares, exactly like Rice Krispie squares...only way way better. So quick and easy too!

In the recipe I found it said to melt the marshmallows in the microwave, which wouldn't have been a problem except it called for large marshmallows....next time I'll be doing it on the stove if I'm using large marshmallows. Small marshmallows work great in the microwave though! Remember only 30 second intervals!! It doesn't take long to have a disaster on hand.

They don't look like much...but they are absolutely delicious!

Marshmallow Oreo Squares

1 350g box of Oreo Cookies

1/4 c margarine or butter

5 c large marshmallow

(THAT'S IT!!)

Empty the cookies into a food processor and pulse until ground. OR If you have some frustrations from the week empty into a large Ziploc bag, grab your rolling pin and...well you know what to do! =) 

Melt together marshmallows and margarine until puffed, either in the microwave or on the stove. Add the smushed Oreos and stir until combined. Put into a greased 8x8 pan and let set for about 1 hour or until firm. You can speed this up by putting them in the fridge of course. Cut, taste test, and serve.
