There. Are. No. Words.
Do you like cinnamon rolls? Check.
Do you like tasty things? Check.
Do you like a slight chew, a yummy crunch and lots of sweetness? Check, check, check!
Do you like rice krispies? Check.
Do you like all these things rolled up into one sticky, chewy, gooey and portable treat, topped with a swirl of cream cheese icing?
CHECK PLEASE.
Why bore you with inane details of life’s daily doldrums? I made some freaking Cinnamon Bun Krispy Treats, people!!
Cinnamon Bun Krispy Treats don’t understand the word “bore” or “inane” or “doldrums.” They’re all about “happy” and “comfort” and “scrumptious” and “can-I-have-five-more”?
The answer is yes.
Cinnamon Bun Krispy Treats *adapted slightly from Jaclyn at Cooking Classy‘s Cinnamon Roll Krispie Treats recipe
4 & 1/2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
2 cups Rice Krispies
5 Tbsp butter
1 (10.5 oz) pkg miniature marshmallows
1 cup (give or take a few) Cinnamon Bun marshmallows
1 can cream cheese icing
1. Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the marshmallows and continue to stir until melted and gooey. Once melted, stir in both cereals and continue stirring until cereal is coated and mixture is completely blended.
3. Spoon mixture into your greased dish into an even layer. Allow to set for a couple hours before cutting into bars or using cookie cutters to cut into shapes (round for cinnamon rolls, perhaps?)
4. Place the cream cheese icing into a storage Ziploc bag, seal the air out, and snip off the tip of one side of the bag. Pipe frosting in a swirl pattern on the tops of your krispy treats. Eat at once!
Um…in the words of Britney Spears:
Gimme, gimme more.

Kristy says
Where did you find the Cinnamon Marshmellows?
The Domestic Rebel says
Hi Kristy! I found the Cinnamon Bun marshmallows at my local Target in the baking aisle. They don’t seem to be a seasonal product, so hopefully you can find some and stock up. If not, try your local grocery store or Walmart–I’ve seen them there as well. If not, you can use all regular marshmallows, but consider adding a pinch of ground cinnamon to the melted mixture. Thanks!
