Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bars
Description
This recipe turns Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into chewy bars by melting butter and marshmallows together until smooth and mixing in the cereal with some remaining marshmallows for added texture. The mixture is then pressed firmly into a greased pan and allowed to cool completely before cutting. The melting process ensures the bars hold together, while the kosher salt balances sweetness and enhances flavor. The inclusion of some miniature marshmallows not fully melted creates a pleasant chewiness in the bars.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bars are ideal as a quick homemade snack or dessert with familiar cinnamon sugar flavor and a soft, chewy texture. They can be eaten at room temperature or slightly chilled for a firmer bite.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal
- 5 tablespoon butter
- 10 ounce miniature marshmallows divided
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Grease a 9x9 inch pan with butter and set aside.
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the 10 ounce bag of marshmallows and salt. Cook and stir until just about completely melted/smooth. Remove from heat and add the cereal and remaining marshmallows. Mix until cereal is evenly coated. (If you want the additional marshmallows pretty intact, completely mix the cereal with the melted marshmallows before adding them in.)
- Press into the butter dish and cool completely. Cut and serve.
