Marshmallow Cookie Magic

I’m going to start by letting you know that this dessert is not healthy. What it is, is FAST, EASY, & quite tasty. It is also, dairy free, egg free, and nut free. All which meet our allergy needs. It can also be gluten-free, depending on the choice of cookie you use OR vegan if you use another form of marshmallows (like Dandies).

I try to make sure I have a dish or dessert made, every Wednesday night for our church group, regardless of whether or not I’m on the food schedule. It allows me to make sure that Xander has a “safe” treat and I also use it as my “test kitchen”. I figure if my non-vegan, non-allergy friends all rave about what I bring, then it’s worth adding to the blog. 

This treat basically came out of the need to make something fast the other night. I had been sick all week and slowly on the mend so I didn’t have enough energy to go all-out. What I did have, was a package of Oreo cookies & marshmallows. I could work with that. 

I threw half a package of Oreos in my Ninja and pulsed until it chopped up all the cookies into tiny pieces. 

Then I melted the marshmallows on high for 1 minute. They won’t look entirely melted, but once you start stirring with a spatula, it’ll break down even further. Just remember to use miniature marshmallows, or cut your larger ones into quarters so they will melt evenly and quickly. 

Pour the chopped cookie pieces into your melted marshmallows and stir away.

If you spray your spatula beforehand, it’ll help with the marshmallows not sticking as much. 

Then, once it’s all mixed together, scoop mixture into a lightly sprayed, square baking dish. Spread and press down. 

You don’t have to wait long, just a few minutes for it to cool and set.
