Best Cinnamon Chip Rice Krispie Bars Recipes

CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
• Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
• Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

CINNAMON CHIP RICE KRISPIE BARS

Steps:

• 1. Butter the inside of one 13x9x2-inch cake pan, then set the pan aside.
• 2. In a large stock-pot, melt the 5 tablespoons of butter over very low heat. (Whenever I make rice krispie bars, I use an 8-quart Teflon coated stock-pot.)
• 3. After the butter's melted in the pot, add the miniature marshmallows, and stir until the marshmallows have completely melted.
• 4. Once the marshmallows have completely melted, add the cinnamon chips, and stir until the chips have almost melted through. (It's ok to have a few unmelted chips.)
• 5. Remove pot from the heat, add the cereal, and stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
• 6. Press the marshmallow/cereal mixture into the buttered pan.
• 7. Let bars sit for 2-3 hours, before cutting them.
