As
I’ve promised, I am posting about the challenges of cooking in a teeny-tiny
kitchen. As you will see from the
photos, there is basically one small counter to use to prepare food. There is
no dishwasher, so the other counter has the dish drainer on it, which is in
constant use…you can’t leave dirty dishes out in this warm tropical climate,
the smell will overpower this small space within minutes. ‘Nuf said. On to the
good stuff ~
Gooey
No Bake Oreo Bars
1
(16 oz) package Oreo cookies (yes, you can use the flavored ones!)
1
bag Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows (about 5 cups)
4
Tablespoons Butter (or margarine, but not in this house!)
Extra
butter, about 1 Tablespoon
Waxed
or parchment paper
Butter
an 8x8” baking dish. Then, line it with
some waxed paper or parchment paper, allowing some overhang. Butter the paper,
too. You’ll thank me later.
Grind
the cookies in a food processor until they resemble coffee grounds. I had to
use my DIL’s small food processor, and do small batches, putting the ground up
cookies into an extra bowl.
Put
the marshmallows and butter into a microwave safe bowl, and heat in the
microwave for about 2 minutes (it will puff up!). Again, since the microwave is
small, so I had to use a smaller bowl than I normally would, but I just kept an
eye on it, so it didn’t puff over the bowl.
Immediately
stir the ground cookies and the marshmallow mixture together. By hand. You’ll
get a good 2-minute workout.
At
last you can plop the mixture into your prepared dish, and using an extra piece
of waxed paper, press it into the pan.
I
put it into the fridge for about 15 minutes, but it doesn’t really get very
firm. Cut into pieces; you can choose how big or how small you want to cut ‘em.
I won’t judge.
It
is oooey, gooey Oreo goodness! Enjoy!
