I experiment with food a LOT, and every once in a while, I'll create something that makes me think 'Wow, that is awesome!'. And, that's what happened this time with this recipe for Cinnamon Roll Rice Krispies.
It's one of those that is so easy and turned out so great, that I can't believe I didn't think about it before! If you've been reading this blog, you know that I LOVE cinnamon rolls (drooling as I write about them), and Mary doesn't like Rice Krispie treats (I know...what is wrong with her?...Love ya, girl!). Mary tried some 'gourmet' rice krispie treats earlier this year to try to see if she would find some that she likes. Well, I think I created one that she will like, if not love!
I'm always trying to loose weight, and one of the ways that I can be successful at loosing weight is to find items that I like and make them into foods that have lower calories or fat. What I've found in the past is that Rice Krispies can help curb your hunger for sweet treats and they are low fat!
So, I've been craving cinnamon rolls lately, and had the idea that to make them into Rice Krispie treats will help satisfy that craving without all the calories and fat from an actual cinnamon roll. And the results are Amazing! In fact, the bad thing is that they taste so good, that I may not be able to stop with just one! I've already had one to taste test... oh yeah...yummy!!
Here's the recipe for you to try out, and let me know what you think!
3 Tablespoons of butter
1 - 10 oz bag of marshmallows
6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 Tablespoons of Cream Cheese icing (add more if you want to be naughty)
Directions:
Melt the butter in a large pan
Add the marshmallows and stir to melt
Tip: Put the icing into a plastic sandwich bag and cut off the tip of one end, then use like a pastry bag to draw designs on your cinnamon rolls.
After they have cooled, Cut and enjoy!
Sweet Endings!
