This Rice Krispie and churro dessert is a mashup treat of epic proportions. Created by Brandon Matzek of the Kitchen Konfidence blog, the recipe for Churro Rice Krispie Treats makes a quick and sweet snack you can make that will be a hit with all.
The puffed rice cereal and marshmallow combination pairs nicely with the cinnamon and sugar the traditional Mexican churro dessert brings to the mix. Together, the "warm brown butter infuses the treats with a golden toastiness while the cinnamon-sugar topping brings a sense of familiarity."
The squares are an example not just of two separate dishes being mashed up into a new invention, but also of different North American cultures coming together.
