Total Time: 12 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 2 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup semisweet baking chips
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 dash cinnamon
• 1 cup rice krispies (approx, see directions)

Recipe

• 1 line a mini-muffin pan with mini-muffin paper cups. fill each cup about halfway with rice krispies. no real measurement required here.
• 2 carefully melt the chocolate chips (can also use bar chocolate for baking, candy melts would also work but already have a lot of added flavor thus taking away from the vanilla-cinnamon combo) either on stovetop or in the microwave. if microwaving, be very careful because culinary chocolate can burn if nuked too hard!
• 3 when it's a nice stirring consistency, stir in the vanilla and cinnamon.
• 4 while the chocolate is still hot, spoon over the rice krispies, coating them well.
• 5 gently re-microwave if mixture begins to stiffen.
• 6 freeze the pan for at least 2 hours prior to eating.
