Cinnamon Rice Crispy Treats

Rice Crispy Treats are one of my favorite snacks to make.  Not only because I can have them done in less than 10 minutes, but also because there are 1001 variations you can use.  I love to add peanut butter or frost them with something made of chocolate.  But this variation easily makes it into my Top 5 Rice Crispy Treats of all time list.  My kiddos loved it too and ate the entire batch in less than 5 minutes.  I had to hurry and put some away so I could take a picture.  Your kiddos will love you (even more than they already do) if them come home from school to these little beauties!
