Now y'all know that I am not a food blogger, but what you might not know is that I am a Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treat fanatic. I've been eating them since I was little and then my Gran taught me how to make traditional Krispie Treats when I was about 8 years old. Since then I've been hooked! Recently I love to mix things up and into these Treats to create new flavors. My Churro Marshmallow Crispy Treats for Cinco de Mayo (or any day) are the perfect balance of crunchy, gooey, and spicy.

Churro Crispy Treat Ingredients:
- 3 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- 6 cups Kraft Jett Puffed mini marshmallows, divided
- 4 TBSP butter
- 3 TBSP sugar + 1/2 tsp cinnamon, mixed
Directions to make Marshmallow Crispy Treats for Cinco de Mayo:

Step One
Spray a 9×13 pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Measure out cereals and set aside. I like to use a large measuring cup pitcher.
Step Two
Add Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal to a large plastic zipper bag and crush gently with a rolling pin or the bottom of a measuring cup. This step is optional but will make the finished treats easier to cut and eat.
Step Three
Add 5 cups of mini marshmallows and butter to a large, microwaveable bowl. I like to spray the bowl and a rubber spatula first with non-stick cooking spray to make this entire process easier!
Step Four
Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds on high, until marshmallows begin to puff up. Add more time in 30-second increments if needed, not to exceed 2 minutes.
Step Five
Remove from microwave and stir in both kinds of cereal. Add in the remaining cup of mini marshmallows. Stir to combine the mixture.
Step Six
Transfer to the 9×13 pan and press gently into the pan, making the mixture as level as possible. Sprinkle the top of the Churro Marshmallow Crispy Treats with cinnamon sugar. Cool and cut into squares.

These Churro Marshmallow Crispy Treats combine cinnamon sugar with gooey marshmallows and crispy cereals in a simple to make treat inspired by delicious churros.
