A sweet no-bake treat made with the new Strawberry Toast Crunch for the perfect berry-cinnamon crunch!

There are so many limited-edition cereals out right now, and while some were total misses, Strawberry Toast Crunch was definitely a win! Naturally, I had to turn it into marshmallow treats, and let me tell you—these Strawberry Toast Crunch Bars did not disappoint. I mixed in freeze-dried strawberries for an extra punch of fresh berry flavor (totally optional, but highly recommended!). I wasn’t sure if the cinnamon and strawberry combo would work, but I ended up loving it. Add in the gooey vanilla marshmallows, and it was an instant hit! 🍓✨

The Recipe Rundown

Cereal Lover Approved

I am a HUGE cereal fan. I could eat it for every single meal—whether it’s a super healthy bowl, a marshmallow-filled classic, or a total throwback. I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch and all its spin-off flavors, but I’ll be honest… Strawberry Toast Crunch didn’t seem like it would be that great. The combo just felt a little odd.

I Was So Wrong!

Turns out, this cereal is a total win. The strawberry flavor isn’t overpowering at all, and when mixed into a gooey marshmallow cereal treat, it’s even better. I added freeze-dried strawberries to boost the berry flavor, and it took them to the next level. We snacked on them all weekend and even brought a few along for a trail walk—it was the perfect “walking brunch” in this amazing Florida weather.

Make It Your Own!

• Want less strawberry flavor? Swap half the Strawberry Toast Crunch for regular Cinnamon Toast Crunch and skip the freeze-dried strawberries.
• Craving chocolate? Dip them in dark chocolate for a fun chocolate-covered strawberry twist!
• Kid-friendly fun! These make a great weekend brunch treat that doubles as an edible craft project for kids—let them drizzle, dip, and decorate their own bars!

No matter how you make them, these Strawberry Toast Crunch Bars are a must-try! 🍓✨

FAQ

1. Can I use regular Cinnamon Toast Crunch instead of Strawberry Toast Crunch?
Yes! While Strawberry Toast Crunch adds a fruity flavor, regular Cinnamon Toast Crunch will still create a delicious marshmallow bar with a slightly different taste.

2. How do I store these bars?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge and bring them to room temperature before serving.

3. Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried?
Fresh strawberries add too much moisture, so it’s best to stick with freeze-dried strawberries for the best texture and flavor.

4. What’s the best way to get clean cuts when slicing the bars?
Let them cool completely, then use a sharp knife sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

5. Can I use a different type of chocolate for the drizzle?
Absolutely! White chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a strawberry-flavored chocolate melt would totally work!

Sprinkle of Fun

As we head into March, bring a little spring to weekend brunch- Cinnamon Toast Crunch style! Pack up a breakfast sandwich and some Strawberry Toast Crunch Bars (after all, it’s cereal!). Have a picnic brunch, soak up the sunshine, and then head out on a trail or to the park for a laid-back morning. 🍓☀️

Instructions

1. Spray a 9″ square dish with cooking spray and line with two pieces of parchment paper criss-crossed. (So that the paper hangs over all 4 sides. It’ll make it easier to pull out.)
2. In a large pot, melt the butter and marshmallows over medium low heat. Be sure to stir often so that it doesn’t burn.
3. Once it’s melted, remove the pot from the heat and add in the 6 cups of Strawberry Toast Crunch. Mix it until it’s completely coated, then stir in the white chocolate chips and dried strawberries. If they melt a little bit it’s totally fine and expected!
4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Using a spoon sprayed with cooking spray OR my personal favorite- a fondant smoother sprayed with cooking spray, lightly flatten the mixture into the pan.
5. Top with pink chocolate drizzle.
6. Cut it into bars and enjoy!
