My SiL posted a recipe to my FB page a couple of weeks ago, and I was aghast that the author of said recipe called it 'lumps of coal' when the picture was of perfectly smooth squares...

So I set out to remedy this and can proudly present:

This is an easy, quick recipe, and one you could pull off before Santa is supposed to arrive, if you would like to put some of these in your family stockings.

All you need:

1 package Oreos, 1 package marshmallows and ½ stick of butter

Melt the butter and mallows over low heat on the stove, stirring frequently. Grind up the cookies in a food processor until they are a uniform powder. You may sneak one or two, if you can't resist Oreo's siren song.

Pour everything into a large bowl and stir until combined. Then start grabbing hunks and form the lumps! Be sure to make several sizes and different shapes to mimic real coal. You don't have to work super fast to get these done, but it does help if the mixture is still warm while you form the lumps, so keep that in mind.

Then let them harden a bit and distribute! 

Astute readers will note that this is basically the Rice Krispies Treats recipe, but with Oreos... so you kinda know how they'll taste before you even begin.
