There is a little competition brewing for our biannual Roper family reunion - a death match if you will. A rice crispy treat death match. Scary? Yummy? I'm not sure, but I do know I'm in it to win it. I don't LOVE rice crispy treats, but who remembers Rice Crispy Treat cereal? Seriously delicious.
There are good cooks among the Roper clan, so I've got some tough competition. Recipes are being gathered, pinned, tried, and posted, like here and here. Sweets definitely aren't my strength as far as culinary skills go because I have a husband with an iron will who won't generally eat them, so I don't make dessert much. A handful of dark chocolate chips every night, and I'm good to go. But, I've been thinking about this little competition for a while and I've got some good ideas. Ideas that I will post to make the other cousins very scared indeed. And they should be after this first try...
I present Cinnamon Bun Rice Crispy Treats.
The bottom layer is just the rice crispy treat recipe off the side of the box of cereal, except that I browned the butter first and added a teaspoon of cinnamon. The top layer is this browned butter cream cheese frosting.
I tell you what... these were go-od!
I think next time I might add a sprinkling of cinnamon chips on top...

Sounds yummy and very fun! I also have a delicious chocolate-peanut butter rice crispy treat if you are interested.
Yay!! I'm glad you're in the competition! And these sound gooood. Really, in this competition, will there be any real losers? (Not with all that dessert around is what I'm saying!) That said, I think my next recipe will blow you away. If I ever get around to blogging it, that is. ;)
That sounds great, Janae - I'd love your recipe. I can use all the help I can get!
