Munch on this delicious snack mix inspired by the traditional cinnamon-sugar fried pastry—Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ cereal drizzled with melted white vanilla baking chips, tossed with vanilla wafer cookies, chocolate chunks and almonds.

Ingredient List

6 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ cereal
1/2 cup white vanilla baking chips
2 cups mini vanilla wafer cookies
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks
1 cup salted roasted almonds

Preparation

Spread cereal on waxed paper.
In small microwavable bowl, microwave white vanilla baking chips uncovered on Medium (50%) 60 seconds; stir. Continue heating in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until stirred smooth and melted. Transfer to small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut small corner from bag, and squeeze onto cereal. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes or until set.
In large bowl, mix cookies, chocolate chunks and almonds. Break drizzled cereal into pieces; add to bowl. Store in airtight container.

Tips

For extra decadence, replace semisweet chocolate chunks with dark chocolate chunks.
Traditional Spanish and Mexican churros are sweet dough spirals that are deep-fried and coated with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
