Rice Krispies meet churros for the best rice krispie treat you will ever have.
Cinnamon and Sugar Rice Krispie Treats combine the classic no-bake bar and churros for a spiced treat that’s so easy to make. You’re only five ingredients and ten minutes away from these gooey marshmallow churro rice krispie treats!
They might look simple, but these churro rice krispies treats are, hands down, my most favorite recipe to date. I mean, I love all of my recipes but the combination of one of my favorite cereal bars with the cinnamon-sugar goodness of classic churros – well, it’s a match made in heaven!
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
The inspiration started with one of my favorite cookies from Crumbl Cookies: the churro sugar cookie. I love them so much, but they pack a serious calorie punch (800!), so I thought, why not turn the idea into a rice krispie treat? So, I assumed that inspiration and borrowed a few ingredients from my dulce rice krispie treats to create this whole new version.
I knew I could cut the calories but still have all the flavors of my favorite cookie combined with the crispy cereal and ooey-gooey marshmallows.
Easy Cinnamon Rice Krispie Treats
Beyond that, they combine my favorite Spanish donut and cereal bars, they are so easy to make. Just five ingredients!
They also take no time at all. In about 10 minutes, you’ll have a pan of the most fantastic rice krispie treats ever.
There’s cinnamon mixed into the bars, but I also add a cinnamon-sugar topping which makes them so much like a churro. It’s the perfect topping for marshmallow bars.
Sandra’s Tips
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoon Salted butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 12 ounces marshmallows
- Cinnamon & Sugar – whatever your heart desires, add as much or as little
Recipe Steps
Butter an 8×8″ baking pan.
Combine the cereal and cinnamon in a large bowl. Set this aside while you melt the butter and marshmallows.
Place the butter in a large pot and melt it over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until they are almost melted. I like leaving some marshmallow lumps so you get those nice gooey pulls when breaking the bars apart.
Take the pot off the heat and add the cinnamon cereal immediately. Quickly stir until the cereal is thoroughly mixed with the melted marshmallows.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it into an even layer. To keep it all from sticking to your hands, use a spatula to push it into the pan.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping evenly over the bars. Allow the churro rice krispie bars to cool before slicing.

Absolutely the BEST! I use the paper the butter is wrapped in for shaping and pushing down on my Churro Krispies. It’s handy and the Krispies don’t stick to it. Thanks for sharing your awesome twist Sandra!
I’ve been making these for some time now…they’re my husband’s favorite. I was in the store the other day buying more ingredients to make again, when I discovered, in the cereal aisle, that they make a cinnamon toast crunch mini cereal. I grabbed a box, thinking they might be a great addition. I was right! They were! I used 4 C. of Rice Krispies and 2 C. of the mini toast crunch cereal. They are Da-Bomb! Will make them this way from now on. Thanks for this recipe!!!
Love this idea!
