How to Make the Best No Bake Cinnamon Spice Crunch Bars

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Cinnamon Spice Crunch Bars: Cinnamon flavored baking chips, white chocolate chips, butter, sweetened condensed milk, large marshmallows and plain corn flakes.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: A 9 x 9 inch non stick pan, a medium heavy bottomed saucepan, rubber spatula, measuring cups and spoons.
  • Cinnamon baking chips are readily available year-round on the baking aisle at my local grocery store. If you’re unable to find them, you can use butterscotch baking chips in the same amount. It’s a different flavor but very delicious.
  • This cinnamon spice version is unapologetically rich, so I recommend cutting them into bite-size pieces much like you would homemade fudge. The sweet warm cinnamon and white chocolate form the perfect coating for the corn flakes and the gooey marshmallow “glue” is the crowning touch.
  • You could adapt this recipe using Rice Krispies, too.
  • Allow ample time for the crunch bars to cool and set before attempting to cut into squares. You can speed up the process by placing them into the refrigerator, if desired.
  • Store Cinnamon Spice Crunch Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

  1. Hi, I’m the uk and I I’ve never seen cinnamon baking chips do you have an alternative way of still making them with cinnamon spice instead of possible please as I would love to have a go at making some
    Many thanks
    Linda

    1. Hi Linda, that’s a tough one. Perhaps experiment using all white chocolate chips and adding ground cinnamon to the melted mixture. Let me know if you try it and how it goes.

      1. i would not use ground cinnamon.white chocolate with a food grade cinnamon oil .
