CINNAMON BROWN SUGAR RICE KRISPIES TREATS

Steps:

• 1. In a medium-large pot, on low heat, melt the butter. Then add the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• 2. When the brown sugar is completely dissolved, add your marshmallows.
• 3. Stir continuously until marshmallows are melted and the mixture is sticky. (This could create cramps in your hand, so stir slowly if need be.)
• 4. Remove from heat and start adding the cereal. Mix until well coated. (I usually add 1 cup at a time for ease.)
• 5. Spray your pan or chosen dish (I sometimes use fun molds) with cooking spray. Spoon your treats into the pan. (I usually spray one of my hands with the cooking spray so that I can mold the treats easier.)
• 6. Sprinkle some more cinnamon on top (if desired) and let cool for 15-20 minutes. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.

VANILLA CRISPIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; continue to cream until smooth. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F ( 190 degrees C ).
• Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place onto a cookie sheet. Cookies should be at least 2 inches apart. Lightly grease the bottom of a glass, dip it into the granulated sugar, and press the cookies down slightly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks.
