Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Treats
Description
This recipe transforms Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into a marshmallow treat by melting salted butter and miniature marshmallows together until smooth. The melted mixture is then combined with approximately eight cups of the cereal, ensuring the cereal is fully coated in the sticky marshmallow sauce. Pressed evenly into a parchment-lined 9x9-inch pan and cooled at room temperature, the mixture sets into chewy bars that capture both the crunch and distinct cinnamon-sugar flavor of the cereal with the softness and sweetness of classic marshmallow treats.
The salt in the butter complements the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor. The method involves constant stirring during marshmallow melting to prevent burning and smooth coverage. After cooling at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, the bars can be cut and served. These treats offer a nostalgic take on traditional rice crispy treats with a cinnamon twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to preserve their texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter salted
- 8 cups miniature marshmallows about 1½ (10-ounce bags)
- 12.2 ounce Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal about 8 cups, boxed
Instructions
- Line a 9x9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir constantly until they have all melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal until it is completely coated with the melted marshmallow sauce.
- Turn the mixture out into the pan and, using a spoon or spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, press into an even layer. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, then cut into squares and serve. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Allow treats to cool completely at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature; consume within 3 days for best texture.
- Use salted butter to balance sweetness and enhance the cinnamon flavor.
