Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal combined with butter and marshmallows for a sweet and crunchy treat.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Cinnamon Toast Crunch has always been one of my favorite sugar-laden cereals. All of my kids love it too! So it’s no surprise that these Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bars were a huge hit at my house!
I pretty much love any kind of marshmallow coated cereal bar, so I’m surprised it too me this long to think of using Cinnamon Toast Crunch to create a delicious, gooey confection.
What a significantly yummier snack than Rice Krispy Treats. I could probably eat about 3 of these in one sitting!

And let’s be honest, you really can’t go wrong with a three ingredient treat that’s ready in about 10 minutes.
Next time, I’m going to double the batch, because my husband and kids devoured these almost as fast as I made them. I can’t blame them. These crunchy, chewy, cinnamon and sugar flavored bars are pretty irresistible!
In fact, I’m going to start keeping the ingredients on hand just so I can whip up a batch of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bars at a moment’s notice.
If you’ve ever made Rice Krispies Treats, this is basically the same process. Except I like this version even better. And that’s really saying something, because I love Rice Krispies Treats!
You do have to stir this cinnamon toast version a bit more carefully, so you don’t break up the cereal.
I also like to butter a sheet of waxed paper and use that to press the marshmallow coated cereal into the pan–which should also be buttered.
Butter, marshmallows and Cinnamon Toast Crunch–it’s pretty much a match made in heaven! Trust me, you need to make these!
Just be sure you have someone to share with, otherwise you’ll be tempted to eat the entire pan yourself!

Taste is great! I was looking to increase recipe as we are family of 5. I doubled it and it was too much for 9×13 pan. Would recommend 1.5x recipe for 9×13 pan. Thanks

What a significantly yummier snack than Rice Krispy Treats. I could probably eat about 3 of these in one sitting! Add a cup of coffee with Rumchata (which is a rum beverage that tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch) and I’ll be there for 4-5 of these bars lol.
