These easy no-bake bars are made with cinnamon toast cereal for a crispy, chewy treat. Simply melt marshmallows with butter, then gently mix in the cereal to coat. Press the mixture into a pan, let it set, and enjoy a sweet, cinnamon-filled snack with a satisfying crunch!
Prepare your pan. Grease your pan lightly coat with cooking spray. This will prevent sticking and make it easy to remove your treats later.
Cooking spray
Melt the butter. In a large pot or large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. For a deeper, nuttier flavor, let it brown slightly to make brown butter. Be careful not to burn the butter.
12 tbls Butter
Melt the marshmallows. Add the marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly until melted. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.
26 oz marshmallows
Mix in the cereal. Remove the pot from heat and immediately fold in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, making sure every piece is coated in the gooey marshmallow mixture. You are looking for an extra soft texture so hold out a cup or so of the cereal to ensure it is the consistency you want. Add it as needed
27 oz Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
Transfer to the prepared pan. Using a greased spatula tip the pan and get the mixture into the pan. Then, using the back of the greased spatula, or plastic wrap, gently press the cereal mixture into the pan. Don’t press too hard, or you’ll end up with hard treats instead of soft and chewy ones! Trust us!
Let set. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Do not be tempted to snack till they are cool!
Cut and enjoy! Once set, turn the pan over onto a parchment lined cutting board and cut into squares.
