Cinnamon Roll Rice Krispie Treats

Our new neighborhood has a slightly older feel to it.  Okay, I’ll just be honest, it is old.  The houses are older and the people are older.  Our young ;), loud, energetic family has disrupted the quiet, peaceful feel of the place.  The houses are close together and everyone leaves their windows open, so the screaming tantrums my two year old occasionally throws, and the boys’ loud banter in the back yard is heard by the neighbors.   (And by banter I mean the ninja training, monster fighting, and chasing bad guys on bikes).  I don’t think they appreciate it,  find it cute,  refreshing, or humorous.  At all.  

We haven’t met most of our neighbors yet, but I’m thinking I’ll have my boys deliver treats with clean, smiling faces in hopes of a peace offering??  

You think they’ll appreciate Cinnamon Roll Rice Krispie Treats from the two little boys waking them up at the crack of dawn?  Maybe a fruit cake or pie, or oatmeal cookies would go over better? Kidding.  

But these Cinnamon Roll Rice Krispie Treats are insanely good!  

We made them over the weekend and they really do taste like cinnamon rolls.   Just a crispy, gooey marshmallow kind of cinnamon roll.  And all you have to do is add a little brown sugar and cinnamon to the marshmallow/butter mix.   Stir in your rice krispie  cereal, press into a pan, and top with a thick drizzle of cream cheese glaze!!  

So if our neighbors don’t want them, who does??  We’ll try to save some.
