Small Batch Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Treats

Instructions

Grease a loaf pan with butter or baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on each side.

Then, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Let it gently simmer, swirling the pan often, until the butter smells nutty and there are small brown bits on the bottom of the pan, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the 180 grams (3 ½ cups) of mini marshmallows to the brown butter. Stir the marshmallows constantly, just until they're melted and well-combined with the butter. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract. Add the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and remaining 20 grams (½ cup) of mini marshmallows. Stir until everything is well-combined and the marshmallows are slightly melted.

Using a greased rubber spatula, gently press the mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Then, let the bars set at room temperature or in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes. Use the sides of the parchment paper to remove the treats from the pan. Slice into 6 bars and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast the Cereal First 🥣
Lightly toast the Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to intensify the cinnamon flavor and prevent the cereal from becoming soggy in the marshmallow mixture.
Butter Your Pan Generously 🧈
Use clarified butter or ghee to coat your loaf pan instead of cooking spray—it prevents sticking better and adds a subtle richness that complements the vanilla and cinnamon notes.
Control Marshmallow Melting 🔥
Melt marshmallows over low heat with butter, stirring constantly to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency—high heat causes uneven melting and can create lumps that won't combine properly with the cereal.
Press with Parchment Paper 📋
After pouring the mixture into the pan, cover with parchment paper and press gently but firmly for an even thickness that cuts cleanly—wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking while pressing.
Cool Completely Before Cutting ❄️
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate for 15 minutes) before cutting into squares—premature cutting causes the marshmallow to tear and creates uneven pieces.
