Print Recipe

These Cinnamon Roll Rice Krispie Treats combine the sweet-spicy flavor of cinnamon rolls with the nostalgic crunch of Rice Krispie treats, topped with a creamy glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 oz marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, cooking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add the marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir constantly until they are fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring until the cereal is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Press the mixture evenly into the pan using a spatula or lightly buttered hands.
  6. To make the glaze, beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Slowly add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
  7. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the Rice Krispie treats, creating swirls or zig-zags.
  8. Let the treats cool and set for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

[‘Don’t rush the marshmallow melting process—low and slow is key to avoid burning or clumping.’, ‘Lightly grease your spatula or hands to press the mixture into the pan.’, ‘Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the glaze for extra flavor.’, ‘Use fresh marshmallows for smoother melting.’, ‘Sift powdered sugar for a perfect glaze texture.’]
