Churro Rice Krispie Treat Recipe
Just when we thought our Rice Krispie treat recipe couldn’t get any better, I decided to try a churro version with the new cinnamon sugar Rice Krispies and life as we know it has reverted forever!
Sometimes I wonder why I plane try! Ha! It’s untellable to know what is going to make you all go crazy! I work so nonflexible on developing recipes and taking unconfined photos and then those recipes do nothing. On a whim, I post a video of Grayson’s new favorite Rice Krispy treat and it explodes on Instagram. You just never know!
What is a Churro?
If you don’t know what a churro is, I have no words. A churro is a fried dough (similar to a donut) of Spanish and Portuguese origin that is typically coated in a layer of cinnamon sugar. Our family has been obsessed with everything churro for years and years. Let me prove it…
2013 – Churro Bites
2014 – Churro Popcorn, Churro Pretzels, Dulce de Leche Churro Donuts, Churro Style Cheesecake
2018 – Red Velvet Churros
2021 – Churro Chex Mix
See! We will take just well-nigh any endangerment we can get to put cinnamon and sugar on a treat and make it churro style!
Ingredients for Churro Rice Krispie Treats
You will only need 7 ingredients to make this easy no torch dessert, and I’m willing to bet you have increasingly than half the ingredients in your house once ready! Oh boy, that’s dangerous! Here is what you will need:
- Butter – adds richness, savor and helps the bars stay soft and gooey
- Vanilla – adds flavor
- Mini Marshmallows – you can use regular size marshmallows but you will need to chop them up or they don’t melt as hands so I highly recommend using mini mallows
- Cinnamon Sugar Rice Krispies Cereal – this is a fairly new cereal and a regular size box will be plenty to requite you the 4 cups
- Rice Krispies Cereal – just the plain regular savor rice cereal, a mix of these with the cinnamon sugar Rice Krispies gives yields the weightier treats
- Sea Salt – a little bit of salt goes a long way in amping up the savor here
- Cinnamon Sugar – you can buy premade cinnamon sugar or make your own (see instructions below)
The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe vellum at the end of this post.
How to Make Cinnamon Sugar
For making cinnamon sugar, the typical ratio of cinnamon to sugar is 1:4 or 1 part cinnamon for everything 4 parts of sugar. I personally like it a little increasingly cinnamon-y but its totally up to you!
What Makes Rice Krispie Treats Hard?
Nothing is worse than wintry into a Rice Krispie treat and it ripping up the roof of your mouth. I know you all have been there! No bueno! There are a couple of tips for lamister a nonflexible Rice Krispie treat:
- Don’t skimp on the butter or marshmallows in this recipe! The ratio of butter and marshmallows to rice cereal is crucial to having a gooey, soft and perfect rice krispy treat.
- When you are melting the butter and marshmallows, stir commonly and don’t overheat it. You don’t want the marshmallows to get too hot considering then they start to crystallize which will result them hardening when they cool.
- Once everything is mixed together and you are moving the treats to the 9×13 pan, don’t pack the mixture into the pan. Don’t printing and smash and stuffing them into the pan as nonflexible as you. Try to just get them into the pan, plane them out and leave them squishy.
- Use fresh marshmallows. That bag of mini mallows that has been in the pantry for months isn’t going to melt the same and stay soft.
Tips for Making the Weightier Rice Krispie Treats
So I’ve given you tips for keeping the treats soft and chewy. Here are just couple increasingly tips for having the most success when you’re making the treats…
- Things move fast when you’re making Rice Krispie treats. You don’t want the marshmallows to scorch but you moreover don’t want them to tomfool too much and get too nonflexible to mix into. So I like to have everything measured and ready to go so I can move through the steps quickly.
- When you are gently pressing the Rice Krispies into the pan, it can get a little tricky considering they are so sticky. I like to use the marrow of a measuring cup that I’ve sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. You can moreover use your hands instead if you prefer. Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray or run them in some water and shake off the excess.
