Here's Team Kansas City's recipe for Cinnamonster Rice Krispies Treats!
Cinnamonster RIce Krispies Treat Snack Mix
3 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
4oz. cinnamon flavored marshmallows (1/2 bag)
2 1/2c. Traditional Rice Krispies®
Cinnamon Sugar (Mix to your personal cinnamon/sugar preference)
Melt 3Tbsp. Butter in a heavy saucepan over med-high heat.
Add marshmallows, stirring constantly until melted and mixture is smooth.
Add RiceKrispies® to hot mixture in saucepan (this keeps them warm, and thus easier to manipulate, longer)
Mix thoroughly.
Spray cooking spray on a cookie sheet and pull out small chunks of Rice Krispies mixture one at a time to work with. Pull apart enough to make small balls of krispies treats, slightly smaller than "bite sized".
You will need to work quickly. The cooler the mixture gets, the more difficult it is to shape.
Roll each ball in the cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat. Set aside on waxed paper.
If not using immediately, cover tightly to store.
***Tip: If you want a more crunchy texture to your cinnamon balls, set your marshmallows out the night before so that they dry out. They will melt as normal but when the final mixture cools it will be more crunchy and less chewy.***
Mix Cinnamon balls with 1 1/2c. popped popcorn, 1/2c. salted cashews and 1/2c. chocolate candy pieces.
Just in case cinnamon isn't your thing (or because we couldn't stop ourselves) here is a chocolate variation: Swap out cinnamon marshmallows for chocolate ones and Cocoa Krispies® for the traditional ones. In the mix, use candy corn in place of chocolate candy pieces.

This is Team Philly's Brown Butter Pumpkin Rice Krispies Treats. You can use them to create a haunted pumpkin patch!
Brown Butter Pumpkin Rice Krispies Treats – Haunted Pumpkin Patch
Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 stick (8 TBS) butter or margarine
• 1 ¼ tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1 package(about 40) + 10 regular marshmallows
• 2 TBS Pumpkin Puree
• 7 cups Rice Krispies
Directions:
1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Stirring frequently. Butter will foam and then the foam will subside. Brown bits will begin to form at the bottom. Keep stirring. You will smell a nutty aroma and the butter will be lightly brown. Off the heat.
2. Stir in pumpkin pie spice until incorporated. Add marshmallows and stir. Put the heat back on low and stir until marshmallows are completely melted. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in pumpkin puree and two drops of red food coloring and 3-4 drops of yellow food coloring (to make desired orange color).
4. Mix in Rice Krispies until they are fully coated with marshmallow mixture. Turn out onto a wax paper lined baking sheet.
To Make Pumpkins:
Ingredients:
• One batch Brown Butter Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats.
• Small Pretzel Sticks
• Green Icing tube with Leaf tip.
Directions:
1. Allow Rice Krispies Treats to cool for a bit.
2. Shape into round balls. Insert a 1/3 of a pretzel stick into the tops to act as a pumpkin stem.
3. Use green icing and an leaf tip to create a small green leaf on the side of the “stem.”

Team Phoenix made Rice Krispies Caramel Apple Treats complete with a spooky table display!
Rice Krispies Caramel Apple Treats
Yield: approximately 12 servings
Ingredients:
4 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 10 ounce bag of marshmallows
1 ½ cups dehydrated apples
2 individual serving size packets of Apple Cider drink mix
1 1/2 cup caramel bits or caramel squares cut into small chunks
6 cups Kellogg’s Rice Krispies®
Popsicle, lollipop, or other sticks
Caramels for dipping the apples
Assorted cookies, candies, and sprinkles for decorating
Directions – Preparing the Treats
Heat 4 Tbsp butter or margarine in a sauce pan over low heat.
Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
Stir in 2 packets of Apple Cider drink mix.
Remove from heat and stir in 6 cups of Kelloggs Rice Krispies®.
While the mixture is still hot, add the dehydrated apples and caramel chunks.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, tightly pack balls of Caramel Apple Treats around your stick. Make sure your hands are clean and greased well to avoid sticking.
Rest your treats, stick side up on a sheet of wax paper or greased cookie sheet
Refrigerate the treats until it is party time.
Directions – Dipping and Decorating
Heat up a bag of caramels on the stove-top according to the package instructions.
Depending on age and kitchen experience, you can let your child dip the caramel apple treats in the caramel or you can give some assistance.
Before the caramel sets up, have your child roll their caramel apple treat in various candies, sprinkles, or crushed up cookies. You can go crazy and incorporate your families favorite treats into this recipe.
