| Cinnamon Bun Rice Krispie Bars - Incredibly good! |
This is one of those recipes that I should take the time to pretend I'm a photographer, set up a food photo-shoot and get a picture that will do these bars justice. However, you are lucky I even snapped a picture. Last night was one of those nights when our family had half the pan gone before I said, "Oh shoot! I should have taken a picture!" and quickly ran to grab the camera. I put 2 small bars down in front of me on the placemat where I was sitting, took a quick image and then gobbled them up.
These Rice Krispie Bars are made with a product I picked up on a whim at the store. Jet Puffed brand Cinnamon Bun marshmallows. The ironic thing is... I don't like Cinnamon Buns! But they smelled so vanilla-ee and cinnamony and good that I put them in my cart. Last night I made them into bars for a quick dessert/snack and they are amazing! Even to this non-cinnamon bun girl. My 16 year old says they remind her of Cinnamon Crunch Cereal. I agree.Cinnamon Bun Rice Krispie Bars
2-3 T butter
1 package Kraft Jet Puffed Cinnamon Bun Marshmallow, 8oz
5 - 6 c krispie rice cereal
1 t vanilla
In a very large plastic bowl, place the butter and package of marshmallows and a scoop of butter equaling about 3 tablespoons (I never measure...). Microwave about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes until puffy and gigantic in size. Remove from the microwave and stir in the cereal and vanilla. Press into a greased pan - 9X13 or 10X10 - Press down and let set to harden - or rush them a little by placing in the refrigerator until firm enough to cut into squares and eat.
