Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Pour the cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir constantly and bring to a boil, then cook for 1 additional minute.
-
Remove from heat, then stir in vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will bubble and expand.
-
Pour the sticky mixture over the cereal, tossing until fully coated.
-
In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the coated cereal. Toss again to ensure even coverage.
-
Spread the cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through.
-
Let the snack cool completely, then break into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container for maximum crunch.
These churro bites are the perfect combination of crunchy, sweet, and cinnamony—ideal for parties, after-school snacks, or just treating yourself!
