Cinnamon Rice Krispy Squares

Addiction is hard to deal with. I mean when the object of desire just sits there in front of you, you can't help but give in. Even if I hide it in the other room I manage to come back for more. This is the story of my life when it comes to baked goods. Addiction.

On the bright side, as an addict, I am not ready to give it up. Odds are never will. 

When ever I think of rice krispy squares I think of my Mum. Lots of things make me think of my Mum and these are one of them. She used to bake all the time when we were little and if she didn't have a lot of time, she made rice krispy squares. We would all devour them within minutes. In fact, we seldom let them cool off. With these rice krispy squares, I merely tweaked the classic but it really makes a huge difference. The extra marshmallows make it so much chewier, which is the best way with these squares, and the cinnamon and vanilla work great together. My little brother even came upstairs and asked why he smelled cinnamon buns.

Spray/butter a 9" x 13" pan. Put the salt, cinnamon, butter and marshmallows in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave until the butter and marshmallows are melted, about two and half minutes. Mix in the vanilla and put it back in the microwave for 15 seconds. Fold the rice krispies in and mix until they are fully coated and combined. Spray a spatula with cooking spray, and spread the mix into the pan. Let cool, if you can.
