Not only are these a sugar lover's dream come true, they are a no-bake, quick-and-easy sweet treat for all. They were definitely a big hit at the potluck and were truly addictive. Caution: once you start, you just can't stop!

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (*I increased the cinnamon to 1 tbsp since I didn't use cinnamon chips)
Directions:

1/4 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (*I increased the cinnamon to 1 tbsp since I didn't use cinnamon chips)
Directions:
- Pour cereal into a large bowl, set aside.
- Mix sugars and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set that aside too.
- Melt cinnamon (or butterscotch) chips and butter in microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Put back in for another 10 seconds and stir again until smooth. If you have to heat it again, just do it for 10 seconds so as not to overheat it.
- Pour over cereal mixture and mix until the cereal is all coated.
- Slowly add half of the sugar mixture to the cereal while tossing. Coat the whole mixture and then lay it on wax paper on the countertop.
- Sprinkle the rest of the sugar mixture on top and let it cool before serving or storing.
