Description
These Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookie Butter Treats are a sinfully delicious cereal treat full of sweet cinnamon flavor and cookie butter! A fun treat that taste as good as (if not better than) they sound!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1 (16-oz) bag mini marshmallows, plus an additional 1 1/2 cups for stirring in
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cookie butter (I prefer Biscoff or Trader Joe’s brands), plus an additional 1/4 cup for drizzling
- 8 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
Instructions
- Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish liberally with cooking spray (alternatively, for thicker treats, you can use an 8 x 8-inch or 9 x 9-inch pan). Line the pan with parchment paper and liberally spray the paper as well.
- These come together quickly, so it is best to have all the components prepped and ready to go before you begin.
- Place a large pot over medium heat and add the butter.
- Once the butter is melted, add the 16-oz bag of mini marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and then mix in the vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir in the cookie butter and mix until completely melted and incorporated.
- Remove the pan from the heat and then stir in the cereal, mixing quickly while everything is still warm. Stir in the remaining 1½ cups of mini marshmallows.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. I find that using damp hands is the easiest way to do this.
- Place the remaining ¼ cup of cookie butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds, stir well, and then repeat until the cookie butter is melted and drizzly..
- Drizzle the melted cookie butter evenly over the top of the treats, and then allow the cereal treats to set for 1 hour. Remove from the pan and cut into squares.
