Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bars
You need just 4 ingredients to make these bars. They are sweet, rich, sticky, and absolutely delicious.
Prep Time:15 minutes mins
Cook Time:0 minutes mins
Total Time:15 minutes mins
Servings:24 bars
For the bars:
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 5 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
For the chocolate drizzle:
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
To make the bars:
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Let some extra parchment paper hang over the two ends of the pan for easy removal later.
Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Once melted, reduce the heat to low and add the marshmallows. Then spray a mixing spoon with nonstick cooking spray and continuously stir until the marshmallows are fully melted.
Remove the pot from the heat and add the cereal. Stir well. Once combined, transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Cover the top with a sheet of parchment paper and gently press down to form an even layer and then discard the sheet of parchment paper and let cool completely.
To make the chocolate drizzle:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 20-second intervals, stirring in-between until completely melted. Using a large spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled bar and then let sit until the chocolate has hardened and set.
Lift the bar as one piece out of the pan and slice it into individual bars using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
- Have fun playing with the ingredients to make them your own. You can use another kind of cereal if you prefer or try different kinds of chocolate chips.
- Optional add-ins include pretzel pieces, crumbled cookies, and chocolate candies such as M&Ms.
- 10 ounces of mini marshmallows is equal to 6 cups if you’re measuring them by volume. If you’re using standard-size marshmallows, just weigh out 10 ounces of those and chop them roughly before using them so they melt more easily.
