Wow! These ARE good! Adding to my ever-growing list of different Krispy treats. My kid suggested - and I may try next time - drizzing them with some melted chocolate. Thanks!

I have never made rice krispie bars before, and this recipe was among the first that showed up when I did a search for recipes. I needed them to go along with tacos that were being served at work, so I thought the cinnamon would be a perfect addition. I followed the recipe exactly as written, and next time I won’t change a thing. They were a HUGE hit, and after only 15 minutes almost a whole pan of bars had disappeared! Everyone was asking who made them and commented on how great they were. Even my picky boyfriend, who was home while I was making these and who isn't a fan of cinnamon, had to admit that they are very tasty. I'd recommend these as a simple and quick treat for any pot luck if you don't want to have anything left over at the end!!
