This cake is made of Oreo cookies and butter filled with cream cheese, sugar, butter and marshmallows. It was an experiment and like many other experiments of mine turn out to be a scrumptious dessert.

INGREDIENTS:

4 ,5 cups Oreo cookie crumbs,
1.1/2 cups butter, softened,
1 pk cream cheese softened,
1 cup powder sugar,
2 cups miniature marshmallows,
1 teaspoon vanilla extract,

DIRECTIONS:

Mix cookie crumbs with butter to a nice and smooth texture. Spread on parchment paper almost 1 inch thick, a rectangular shape. In a clean mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; add vanilla and sugar; fold in marshmallows. Spread the mixture over the cookie sheet; roll; refrigerate until firm , about 2 hours. Dust with powder sugar or be creative... slice and serve!

Enjoy!
