Ingredients You Will Need
How to Make the Marshmallow Mixture
Step 1: Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium-low heat.
Step 2: Add the Mini Marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir the marshmallows so they are completely covered in butter.
Step 3: On medium-low heat, stir the marshmallows continually until they are completely melted. When the marshmallows are melted, take the pan off the heat.
Adding the Cinnamon and the Rice Krispies Cereal
Steps 4-5: Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of Cinnamon to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Steps 6-7: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Fold together until the cereal is covered in the cinnamon marshmallow mixture.
Assembly Instructions
Step 8: Spoon the mixture into a 9×13″ pan. We line our pan with parchment paper.
Step 9: Lightly press the mixture into the pan.
Steps 10-11: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar and 1 heaping teaspoon Cinnamon. Using a spoon, sprinkle the Cinnamon Sugar onto the top of the treats.
Steps 12-13: Let the Rice Krispie Treats cool and then cut them into squares.
Serving/Storage Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats will last 2-3 days at room temperature in an air-tight container before they start to get stale. You can extend that timeline a few days if you store them in the refrigerator and then take them out about 30 minutes before you eat them. They freeze up great though and that is what we do if we want to make these ahead of time for a party or a family gathering. They defrost very quickly and taste great once they are defrosted. You can keep them in the freezer for up to a couple of months.
