If you love street food or go to Disney parks or love Mexican food then you’re probably a fan of churros. These light-as-a-feather tubes of fried dough melt in your mouth almost like cotton candy, but with a brief crunch before they disappear. While the flavors of fried dough, cinnamon, and sugar are simple and uncomplicated, the process to make these tasty treats is anything but simple. For a no-fuss version these no-bake cinnamon churro bars have a ton of flavor packed into such small squares. And, it only takes a few minutes to assemble.

When you want a quick dessert or treat you can throw together look no further than these bars. The ingredient list is short, but that is not a indicator of how much flavor these crispy bars have.

We’re using a few shortcuts here to ensure that this process is as easy as possible. All you need is some white chocolate, some cinnamon sugar, mini marshmallows, and some Golden Grahams cereal. If you have food allergies or preferences for a different cereal you can by all means use the one you like. But, just be aware that the flavor and texture will change depending on which ones you add to the mix.

To make it easy to release the bars line your 8″x8″ baking dish with parchment or wax paper. You can use bulldog clips to keep the paper from slipping around as this won’t go anywhere near the oven.

The concept is similar to Rice Krispies treats, but instead of small pieces of cereal and melted marshmallows we’re using bigger cereal and whole mini marshmallows. Because of this you really need to squish it down into the pan as the mixture sets. I put another layer of parchment paper on top, followed by a flat saucer, and then a heavy mug on top to make sure it stayed compressed while chilling in the fridge.

Then simply refrigerate for 30 minutes, cut into squares, and you’ve got a tasty treat that’ll remind you of churros anytime you get the hankering.
