Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Treats
A riff on the popular Rice Krispie Treats… a marshmallow cereal treat made with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
Since we can remember, we've been a huge fan of Rice Krispie treats. We love them from-scratch, we loved the cereal back in middle school, we love the massive ones you can get at Noodles… and we love coming up with new creations in our own kitchen. Some of our favorite are A, B, C and D… and we love playing around with different cereals, as well. Case in point: Golden Grahams s’mores bars.
We've been seeing tons of recipes pop up recently featuring Cinnamon Toast Crunch… everything from milkshakes to fudge, and it totally got us craving one of our favorite cereals. It’s our husband’s favorite as well, so we had a feeling that these Cinnamon Toast Crunch marshmallow treats would be hugely popular in our house.
We were spot on.
These are ooey, soft-centered and we were supremely impressed with the fact that the cereal stayed nice and crisp in their bed of marshmallow sauce. We are a house divided when it comes to cereal – we use a minimum amount of milk and eat it quickly, as we like it stay nice and crispy. Our husband drowns his cereal in milk and lets it sit until it’s nice and soggy. As a crisp cereal person, we loved that these marshmallow treats kept that signature crispy texture.
If you love your Rice Krispie treats and are a fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, you absolutely have to make these marshmallow cereal treats!
