If you love churros and you love Rice Krispies treats, you’re going to want to make these Churros Rice Krispies ASAP. They take everything nostalgic and gooey about the classic cereal treat and load it up with cinnamon sugar goodness. It’s the easiest way to get that churro flavor without turning on the oven or dealing with frying oil.
These are soft, chewy, and packed with warm cinnamon and a buttery crunch. The cinnamon sugar coating on top adds the perfect churro finish. They’re easy to make ahead and a huge hit at parties, bake sales, or movie nights.
Helpful Tips
- Use fresh marshmallows: Older ones don’t melt as smoothly and can make the mixture hard to stir.
- Don’t skip the cinnamon sugar topping: It gives them that true churro vibe.
- Press gently into the pan: Don’t pack them down too hard or they’ll end up dense instead of soft and chewy.
