Dessert
If you love the Churro’s and don’t want to make the “REAL” ones that include deep frying, then this is a great alternative. Just ask our son Robby. The first time I made this he ate so much of it he felt sick…he just could not get enough. I will say, when I made this again he was a little more controlled!
This would be great for any party or for tailgating. Easy to make ahead and store in an airtight container. IT makes a BIG batch!
I hope you enjoy it as much as Robby does!!
INGREDIENTS
9 cups Rice Chex cereal (one big box)
1 cup of cinnamon chips (found near the chocolate chips in your grocery store)
1/4 cup of butter
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
Pour cereal in a large bowl, set aside.
In a medium size bowl mix the powdered sugar, granulated sugar and the cinnamon, set aside.
In a small microwavable bowl, microwave the cinnamon chips and butter for one minute or until smooth (at 30 second intervals). It will look a little grainy and that is okay! Drizzle the cinnamon mixture over the cereal and mix WELL, this is important! Once well combined pour in the powdered sugar mixture over the cereal and again. MIX WELL!
Spread the mixture out on parchment paper until dry.
Store in an airtight container and Enjoy!
