Cinnamon Dulce Rice Krispies Treats are made with gooey, creamy dulce de leche and caramel, making this a decadent Rice Krispies treat.
These cereal treats are a serious step from the classic with dulce de leche, ooey-gooey marshmallows, and a hint of cinnamon spice. The best part is that they’re just as easy to make – ready in about 15 minutes!
Recipe Inspiration
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? Do 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 with a Starbucks run. Later, we had lunch at Noodles & Company, where we got the biggest Rice Krispie treat known to man. I ate most of it, which made me realize how much I love these gooey no-bake treats.
I was inspired to make a twist on the cinnamon dulce drink my sister ordered and combine two of our favorites into one delicious treat.
Dulce de Leche Rice Krispie Treats
If you’re ready for a spin on a childhood favorite, these gourmet rice krispie treats are the recipe to try. You will love them, I’m sure!
Ingredients
- Rice Krispies cereal
- Cinnamon
- Dulce de leche
- Mini-marshmallows
- Salted butter
- Cinnamon sugar
- Melted white chocolate for drizzling
Recipe Steps
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the Rice Krispies cereal and sprinkle the cinnamon over the cereal. Toss a few times to get the cinnamon through the cereal.
Melt the butter in a large pan. Stir in the mini marshmallows until they’re melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the half can of dulce de leche.
Pour the dulce marshmallow mixture over the cereal, folding gently until all combined. Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while warm if desired. Let cool before drizzling the white chocolate over the top.
Recipe Tips
The best tip for making these treats is to work fast. Once you add the melted marshmallow and dulce de leche mixture to the cereal, fold it in quickly. As it cools, it will be more challenging to work with.
Keep them tightly wrapped, and they’ll stay at room temperature for up to two days.
So I bring this treat to you: a Cinnamon Dulce Rice Krispie Treat, an original Dash of Sanity inspired by my daily cup of love. Enjoy! XOXO San
