What you will need
This recipe uses 4 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals at 50 percent power, stirring between each interval until completely smooth and glossy.
Step 2: Pour onto Parchment
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted white chocolate onto the sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about a quarter inch thick.
Step 3: Add Toppings
Immediately scatter the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal over the melted chocolate in an even layer, pressing each piece gently into the chocolate so it adheres when set. Dust lightly with cinnamon.
Step 4: Set and Break
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes until completely firm. Break into irregular pieces by hand and serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Overheating the white chocolate causing it to seize and become grainy and unworkable
- Not working quickly enough when adding toppings before the chocolate begins to set around the edges
