Give something special to the “naughty” people in your family with these delicious Lumps of Coal treats made with everyone’s favorite cookies!

A friend of mine posted a photo in a Facebook group with chocolate bars labeled as “lumps of coal” made with OREOS. Being the skeptic that I am, I was forced to test this recipe for myself. It seemed a bit easy and I didn’t think it would really work, but I was happily proven wrong!

These lumps of coal are yummy and as easy to make as Rice Krispies Treats! They may not have the most nuanced and refined flavors, but they look awesome. You’re going to hope you’re on the Naughty List if these are the lumps of coal in your stocking! 🙂

What you’ll need to make Lumps of Coal Treats

- - original OREO cookies (I used the food processor to zip them into a fine powder in seconds)
  - mini marshmallows
  - butter
  - marshmallow topping, optional (use if making bars instead of “lumps”)
I made several lumps of coal, but I didn’t really want to share them with my Sunday School class looking like lumps of coal. Out of context, they look a little weird. 🙂 So I pressed the remainder of the sticky goodness into a pan and topped it with marshmallow topping to kick up the awesomeness. YUM.
