Delight in these delicious Churro Rice Krispie Treats, a fun twist on the classic marshmallow cereal bar. Infused with warm cinnamon flavor and topped with a sweet cinnamon sugar blend, these treats are irresistibly gooey and perfect for snacking or sharing at parties.

Ingredients

For the Treats

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter (plus extra for greasing the pan)
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 12 ounces mini marshmallows (about 7 1/2 cups)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

For the Topping

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Butter an 8×8 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the treats.
  2. Mix Cereal and Cinnamon: In a large bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal with 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Toss well to evenly coat the cereal with cinnamon, enhancing the churro flavor.

Notes

  • For best gooey texture, do not fully melt all the marshmallows; some lumps should remain.
  • Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan to avoid sticking.
  • Allow treats to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use vegan marshmallows.
