Description

Churro Snacks offer a sweet and crunchy treat combining cinnamon sugar and crispy cereal squares, perfect for parties or as a lunchbox favorite. This no-bake recipe features a buttery, honey-sweetened coating that envelops each piece, delivering the nostalgic flavor of churros in a convenient snack form.

Ingredients

Snack Base

  • 4 cups corn or rice cereal squares (like Chex)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Butter Mixture

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set this mixture aside for later use in coating the snacks evenly.
  2. Arrange the Cereal: Place the corn or rice cereal squares into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there is enough room for tossing with the coating.
  3. Make the Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the light brown sugar and honey, cooking for 2–3 minutes while stirring constantly until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly bubbly.
  4. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the mixture with flavor.
  5. Coat the Cereal: Pour the warm butter mixture over the cereal in the bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to make sure every piece is evenly coated with the sweet blend.
  6. Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the pre-mixed cinnamon sugar over the coated cereal. Toss again carefully until each piece is fully covered with the cinnamon sugar, capturing that churro essence.
  7. Cool and Set: Spread the coated churro snacks evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow them to cool completely at room temperature before serving to achieve the perfect crunch and texture.

Notes

  • Perfect for parties or as a lunchbox treat to satisfy sweet cravings.
  • Store the snack in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
  • For extra crunchiness, you can bake the coated cereal at 250°F (120°C) for 15 minutes, then cool before serving.
