Small Batch Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Treats
If you have the late night munchies, these small batch cinnamon toast crunch marshmallow treats absolutely hit. All you need is five ingredients, a loaf pan, and about 20 minutes for a sweet, gooey, cinnamon-y treat. Honestly, you might want to double this recipe cause they're that good.
Equipment
- Medium skillet
- 1 loaf pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 42 grams unsalted butter (3 Tablespoons)
- 200 grams mini marshmallows, divided (4 cups)
- Pinch of Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 200 grams Cinnamon Toast Crunch (4 ½ cups)
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!
Notes
When it comes to small-batch baking, I always recommend using a scale to measure the ingredients. If you don't have a scale, make sure to measure the ingredients carefully for the best results.
If you don't want to brown the butter, you can use melted butter instead. Just reduce the butter to 36 grams (2 ½ Tablespoons).
Don't cook the marshmallows over high heat. You just want to cook them until they're melted. If they overcook, your cereal treats will end up hard instead of chewy.
My loaf pan is 3.5''x7.5'' but a 4.5''x8.5'' or 5''x9'' pan will work too. The bars will just be thinner.
If you don't have a loaf pan, you can use a cupcake pan instead. Grease 6 cups or line them with cupcake liners and evenly divide the mixture between the cups. Press gently until the tops are smooth.
