Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter plus extra for the pan
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 12 ounces mini marshmallows (about 7 1/2 cups) Regular marshmallows can be used in the same weight.
  • 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon sugar (1/2 teaspoon cinnamon) Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Butter an 8x8 baking pan.
  2. Add Rice Krispies to a large bowl and toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
  4. Add marshmallows and stir until almost melted, leaving a few lumps.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and stir in cereal until well coated.
  6. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, press the mixture evenly into the buttered pan.
  7. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar as desired and allow to cool before cutting and serving.

Notes

Wrap individual squares in parchment or plastic wrap to preserve their chew. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For softer treats, lift the lid briefly before serving; for a firmer bite, chill for 15-20 minutes.
