- 5 tablespoon of butter
- 1 bag 10 oz marshmallows
- 8 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Prepare all of your ingredients. Set aside 5 tablespoon of butter, 1 bag (10 oz) marshmallows, 8 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Prepare your pan with non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt your butter.
Once the butter is melted, add in your marshmallows and vanilla extract.
Melt until the marshmallows, butter, and vanilla extract become one smooth mixture.
Add in your cereal and stir until the cereal is fully coated.
Pour your cereal mixture into your prepared pan.
Using a piece of parchment paper, carefully press the treats into an even layer in the pan.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Variations
Swap out for a different cereal. You can use this recipe as a base to make these easy no-bake treats with your favorite cereal.
Browned butter.​ You can really take your crispy treats to the next level by browning your butter. Sally's Baking Addiction has a great tutorial for how to brown butter.
Add-ins. ​You can add in white chocolate or chocolate chips, or even fold in some mini marshmallows.
Toppings.​ You can also add a delicious gooey icing or melted chocolate drizzle to make these even more epic cereal treats.
Tips
Fresh marshmallows.​ If you want to make sure that you have the best texture, you want to use fresh marshmallows. That'll give you that fluffy, crispy yet chewy texture.
Thickness. If you want thinner treats, I recommend using a 9x13 baking dish. If you want thick treats, I recommend using an 8x8 baking dish.
