Cinnamon Dulce Rice Krispies Treats are made with gooey, creamy dulce de leche and caramel, making this a decadent Rice Krispies treat.
Anyone who knows me, even just a little, knows how much I love Starbucks. Even though I am not a coffee drinker, I love everything else, especially their sprinkles. What? They have sprinkles? Yes, pumpkin spice, chocolate, and my favorite, cinnamon dulce. The latter is what inspired my new favorite treat.
My sister and I were out shopping for the day and of course, it started out with a Starbucks run. Later, we had lunch at Noodles & Company, the place where we got the biggest Rice Krispie treat known to man. I ate most of it, and it made me realize how much I missed making them. I became determined to make them this week, but I wanted it to have something more than just the gooey marshmallow.
As I sat thinking about how I would give it extra panache, I was drinking a hazelnut soy steamer with cinnamon dulce sprinkles from Starbucks. That’s when it hit me like a foodie truck: Cinnamon Dulce Rice Krispie Treats!
So I bring this treat to you, a Cinnamon Dulce Rice Krispie Treat, A Dash of Sanity original inspired from my daily cup of love.
Enjoy! XOXO San

Are we soul sisters? I also LOVE Starbucks but am not a coffee drinker! These sound delicious, and I can’t wait to try them — with a frappuccino!
We must be! As I am not a coffee drinker, but I love sugar. Hence why I still love all their drinks. Right now I love either soy hazelnut steamer or vanilla bean steamer non-fat with caramel drizzle. You gotta try the last one!!!xo San
