Notes

*If you can’t find the cinnamon sugar Rice Krispies, use 1/3 cup (or desired amount) of the cinnamon sugar and stir it into the melted marshmallow right before adding to the cereal.
**Use a 9x13 inch pan for thinner rice krispie treats
***Using a spoon with a little butter on it will help you press the rice krispies into the pan without it sticking all over your hands.
Rice Krispie treats can be stored in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 2-3 days. Or they can be frozen for up to 6 weeks.
