Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Bars Recipe
Delicious cereal bars made with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and plenty of melted marshmallows. Crunchy, gooey, and loaded with cinnamon flavor!
Equipment
- Pyrex Glass Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (about 6 ounces)
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil or parchment. Spray with nonstick cooking spray or spread with butter.
- Melt butter in a large glass bowl. Add the marshmallows and salt. Continue cooking in the microwave, stirring every 30 second with a rubber spatula, until melted.
- Add the vanilla, then the cereal. Stir until evenly coated.
- Press the cereal mixture into the prepared baking pan with wet hands. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Use the foil to remove from the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares.
Notes
- After the marshmallows start to melt, watch closely. The mixture can quickly burn.
- Gently press the cereal mixture into the pan. If you press down too firmly, the bars will be dense and hard to bite into.
- Leftover bars can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days. They start to soften after that, but are still tasty. For maximum freshness, wrap them individually in plastic wrap.
