Like lots of moms, I’ve made my fair share of Rice Krispie Treats since my kids were small. It’s so much fun coming up with different mix-ins and flavors to change them up! Even now that my kids are grown, I find myself craving a good old-fashioned rice krispie!
Churro Rice Krispies are inspired by the cinnamon sugar coating on churros and snickerdoodles. I love the way the sweet and slightly spicy flavors come together!
What do I need?

- Butter
- Mini marshmallows
- Cinnamon
- Sugar
Wondering how to make Cinnamon Rice Krispies Treats? It’s starts like regular rice krispy bars: adding cereal to a mixture of melted butter and marshmallows. You’ll add a little cinnamon to the treats before pressing them into a pan.
The big difference between plain rice krispie treats and Churro Rice Krispies is the cinnamon sugar topping! After pressing the treats into the pan, you sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar on top.
DO NOT skip this step!
It gives every bite a fun cinnamon flavor and perfect texture.
Honestly, when I sprinkled the cinnamon sugar on top of the bars, I really thought it was too much and was rather disgusted by it. BUT THEN…
I gently shook the pan from side to side which made the topping fall down in between all the crevices in the bars and it was GOLDEN!!
Seriously, EVERY bite is FULL of an incredible cinnamon sugar flavor because of it.
Can I freeze rice krispies treats?
You can freeze rice krispies treats but the texture and flavor will be altered. Because I really love rice krispies treats, I never want to enjoy one that isn’t the BEST it can possibly be! That’s why I don’t recommend freezing them if you can avoid it.
Instead, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They keep well for a few days–IF you can resist eating them all!
