Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons salted butter (plus extra for the pan)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 12 ounces mini marshmallows (about 7 1/2 cups)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- Cinnamon sugar for topping: 1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Butter an 8×8-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Mix cereal and cinnamon: In a large bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal with 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, tossing well to evenly coat the cereal. Set this mixture aside.
- Melt butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the 4 tablespoons of salted butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are almost melted but still have some lumps for gooey texture.
- Combine marshmallow and cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat, then quickly stir in the cinnamon-coated Rice Krispies cereal until the cereal is uniformly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press mixture and add topping: Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, evenly press the cereal mixture into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the surface with the cinnamon sugar mixture to add a churro-inspired topping.
- Cool and serve: Allow the treats to cool completely in the pan so they firm up. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your Churro Rice Krispie Treats!
Notes
- Ensure some marshmallows remain slightly unmelted for a chewy, gooey texture reminiscent of churros.
- Using a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture prevents sticking and helps achieve an even layer.
- These treats are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar topping to taste for more or less sweetness and spice.
