Ingredients
Rice Krispies
You will need 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to form the base of your treats. This cereal gives the texture needed for that classic crunch while holding everything together when coated in melted marshmallows.
Marshmallows
For this recipe, use 10 ounces of mini marshmallows. They melt perfectly and blend well with butter to create a gooey mixture that binds the Rice Krispies together for those scrumptious bites.
Butter
You’ll need 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter. The butter adds richness and flavor to your mixture while helping to prevent sticking when melting the marshmallows.
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
Prepare 1/2 cup of granulated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. This mixture will give your treats their signature churro flavor by coating them after they set.
Chocolate Chips
Optional but recommended, use 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Melting these chips provides an extra layer of sweetness that beautifully complements the cinnamon sugar coating.
