Churro Krispie Treats

I am not ashamed to admit this, I have an intense love for rice crispy treats. We have amassed a great collection of them here, the Spring ones with M&M’s are among my top favorites. When I was thinking of some alternative ingredients, I had an idea to use some Cinnamon Toast Crunch to make a churro variety. They do not disappoint, they taste incredible! They are super simple to make and you will love the gooey marshmallow cinnamon flavors. My kids went absolutely crazy over them, give them a try and I am sure yours will too!

Why you’ll love this easy rice crispy treat recipe

• Minimal ingredients. You will need only 6 ingredients to make this amazing dessert and a few of them are most likely already in your kitchen. By using only a few ingredients, means a small shopping trip and minimal prep work.
• Make them in advance. This treat is great to make in advance because it requires a cooling period anyway. It comes together very quickly, so it gives you plenty of time to prepare other dishes while this one cools and sets.
• Great for a variety of events or occasions. Anything from a weekend family get together, to your child’s graduation, or a birthday party, is a perfect setting to serve these treats. Even tailgating and baby showers work wonderfully for this no-bake treat. It does not need to be kept cool and might even become yummier when slightly warm.

Churro Crispy Treats Ingredients

Rice krispie cereal: For one of the main ingredients, you will need 2 ½ cups of Rice Krispie cereal.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch: Adding in 2 ½ cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal will give this a fantastic warm cinnamon flavor that you need to try.

Marshmallows: Use 6 cups of regular mini marshmallows, divided, to create amazing chewy gooey treats.

Butter: For a wonderful rich flavor, add in 4 tablespoons of butter.

Cinnamon & Sugar: Adding a cinnamon sugar dusting to the top of these treats brings the churro feel to these treats, use 3 tablespoons of sugar + ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, mixed.

Step by step on how to make Churro Crispy Treats

Prep

Start by spraying a 9×13 pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Then, measure out both cereals and set them aside. You want the cereal ready to go because the steps move fast once you get going.

Also, prepare the cinnamon sugar for the topping. Combine in a small bowl and set aside for the last step.

Cereal mixture

Next, in a large, microwave safe bowl, combine 5 cups of regular mini marshmallows and the butter. I like to spray the bowl and a rubber spatula with non-stick cooking spray to make this entire process easier.

Proceed to microwave these ingredients for 1 minute 30 seconds, on high, until the marshmallows begin to puff up. You want this mixture to be melted completely, add more time in 30 second increments, if needed, not to exceed 2 minutes.

After that, remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in both the cereals already measured out. Once they are well incorporated, add in the remaining cup of mini marshmallows. Stir this mixture until it is well combined. The additional marshmallows will not fully melt, that is the goal with those.

Cool

Now, transfer the mixture to the prepared 9×13 pan and press the mixture gently into the pan, making the top as level as possible.

Last, sprinkle the top of the cereal with the cinnamon sugar combination and let cool for about an hour.

When you are ready to serve, cut into squares, and enjoy!

HOW DO I KEEP MY RICE KRISPIE TREATS FROM STICKING?

I always spray my rubber spatula with a good coating of cooking spray before mixing my Krispie Treats and it is so much easier. You can also spray the mixing bowl you use and of course, spray the 9×13 glass pan with cooking spray too. No more mess!

HOW LONG ARE CHURRO KRISPIE TREATS GOOD FOR?

These delicious treats will be good for 3-5 days, if stored in an airtight container and stored at room temperature. After that they do start to loose their original texture.

Can I make this treat with other types of cereal?

You sure can! I love this recipe because you can swap out the cereal for all different kinds. I think coco pebbles, fruity pebbles, cheerios, or even lucky charms would taste amazing in rice crispy treats.
