Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

Have you noticed all the fun different flavors of marshmallows that have been around lately? This summer I was buying strawberry, chocolate, caramel, swirl, and coconut. All kinds of deliciousness. This fall there is a new crop of marshmallow flavors. So far I have seen pumpkin, peppermint and my personal favorite cinnamon bun.

So what do you do with a bag of cinnamon marshmallows? You make Rice Krispie treats of course and these Cinnamon Rice Krispie Treats are a dressed up version of an old favorite. Don’t worry if you can’t find the cinnamon bun marshmallows I’ve got another option for you.

Ingredients Needed

  • Marshmallows. I used cinnamon marshmallows but they can be hard to find. You can use regular marshmallows and just add in some cinnamon. Full size or miniature marshmallows will work.
  • Cinnamon. Omit if using cinnamon marshmallows.
  • Butter. I use salted butter but you can also use unsalted butter.
  • Crispy rice cereal
  • Toffee Bits
  • Chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate but you could use semi sweet or dark chocolate.

How to Make Cinnamon Rice Krispie Treats

  • In a pan on the stove top combine marshmallows and butter and melt. This can also be done in the microwave.
  • Mix marshmallows and butter until butter melts and mixture is smooth. If you can’t find cinnamon marshmallows add in 1 tsp cinnamon into mixture.
  • Pour Rice Krispie cereal into a large bowl and pour in marshmallow mixture and mix well.
Pouring marshmallow over cinnamon rice krispie treats
  • Add in 1/2 cup of toffee bits.
  • Once the marshmallow-butter mixture is evenly mixed in, pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan.
  • Do not press down with your hand.
  • Sprinkle top with remaining more toffee bits and allow to set.
  • Melt 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and then drizzle over the top.

  • You can place the treats into the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process and the hardening of the chocolate.
  • Cut into squares after they have set up and chocolate has hardened.

Tips from Leigh Anne

  1. Don’t use the recipe on the back of the cereal box.  I always use more butter and more marshmallows (see recipe below).  It makes them a gooey and yummier treat!
  2. Use fresh marshmallows, it does make a difference.
  3. Don’t overcook the marshmallows, it can cause them to harden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my Rice Krispie treats hard?

Cooking your marshmallow and butter over too high of a heat will cause the marshmallow to harden up. Be sure and use a medium low heat.

Can I freeze Rice Krispie treats?

You can but I don’t recommend it. They tend to harden up after they have been frozen and I don’t like the texture.

    Confusing. 1/2 toffee bits? Is this 1:2 cup? Package? What?
    Then 1/3 cup toffee bits?
