Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box (12.6 oz) Cocoa Krispies cereal (about 8–½ cups)
  • 2 bags (10 oz each) miniature marshmallows
  • 12 tbsp butter (¾ cup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Cinnamon Sugar Mix

  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Caramel Drizzle

  • 20 unwrapped caramel squares
  • 1–½ tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick spray or grease lightly with butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large pot over low heat, melt the 12 tablespoons of butter gently until fully liquid.
  3. Reserve Marshmallows: Set aside one cup of the miniature marshmallows for later use.
  4. Add Marshmallows: Add the remaining marshmallows to the melted butter in the pot.
  5. Melt Marshmallows: Stir continuously over low heat until the marshmallows have melted completely and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  6. Remove from Heat: Take the pot off the stove to prevent burning.
  7. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla essence until the mixture is smooth.
  8. Add Cereal: Stir in all the Cocoa Krispies cereal, making sure each piece is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  9. Mix in Remaining Ingredients: Add ¼ cup of the prepared cinnamon sugar, the reserved one cup of mini marshmallows, and the mini chocolate chips. Gently fold everything together until evenly combined.
  10. Press into Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared 9×13 pan and use a spatula to press it down firmly and evenly.
  11. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the pressed treats.
  12. Let Set: Allow the rice krispie treats to sit out at room temperature for at least 1 hour to fully set and firm up.
  13. Make Caramel Drizzle: Place the unwrapped caramel squares into a microwave-safe glass measuring cup or dish.
  14. Melt Caramel: Microwave the caramel in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until melted and smooth.
  15. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream until the caramel is creamy and well combined.
  16. Drizzle Caramel: Using a fork or spoon, carefully drizzle the caramel over the top of the set rice krispie treats for an extra indulgent finish.
  17. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy your Chocolate Churro Rice Krispie Treats with the caramel drizzle topping.

Notes

  • For best results, use low heat when melting marshmallows to avoid scorching.
  • Press the mixture evenly but avoid compressing too much to keep treats light and crispy.
  • The cinnamon sugar can be adjusted depending on how strong you want the churro flavor.
  • Caramel drizzle adds sweetness and a glossy look but can be omitted to keep it simpler.
  • Store treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness and chewiness.
  • These treats are best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal texture.
