How to make the best Churro Honeycomb Snack Mix:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Pour the Honeycomb cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Stir over medium heat, making sure to stir constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil, then continue boiling for 1 minute.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda.
Pour the brown sugar mixture over the cereal and mix to coat completely.
Spread the cereal out onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Stir the granulated sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle over the warm cereal mixture. Let cool completely, then break apart to serve.

Everyone loves churros, but not everyone has the time (or desire) to deep-fry dough. This recipe captures all the flavor and comfort of a classic churro—warm cinnamon, golden sugar, and buttery richness—but delivers it in a no-mess, no-fry format. Using Honeycomb cereal gives it a fun, airy crunch that’s satisfying and totally unexpected!

The star of this snack mix is Honeycomb cereal, and for good reason. It’s not just a breakfast throwback—it’s the perfect base for a churro-flavored coating. Its light, airy texture holds up beautifully to the warm butter-cinnamon-sugar glaze without getting soggy. Plus, its signature honey-kissed flavor adds another layer of sweetness, giving this snack mix layers of sweetness with minimal effort.

This churro snack mix made with Honeycomb cereal is one of those recipes you’ll find yourself making again and again. It’s sweet, simple, and seriously addictive. Whether you’re sharing it with friends or hoarding it for yourself (I won’t judge), it’s guaranteed to satisfy that sweet-and-crunchy craving!

My top tips:

PREP YOUR PAN: Make sure to line your sheet pan with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone baking mat to prevent any sticking!
CEREAL: Technically you don’t have to use Honeycomb cereal—but if you want that signature churro-meets-cereal flavor and texture, Honeycomb is the way to go. You could substitute similar airy cereals in a pinch, like Kix or puffed corn, but you might lose some of the structure and sweetness that makes this snack mix so addictive.
BOILING: Avoid cooking the butter and sugar mixture for too long. Boiling it for exactly 1 minute is what gives this mix a perfectly chewy exterior. It’s also important to stir this mixture continuously to prevent any burning.
COATING: Once the caramel sauce is done boiling, you’ll need to move quickly to coat the cereal mixture before it begins to cool and set up. I like using a rubber spatula to mix, as this avoids crushing the cereal too much.
BAKING: I like giving the caramel coated cereal and quick mix when it comes out of the oven after baking, before sprinkling on the cinnamon sugar. This just ensures the brown sugar coating has evenly coated all the honeycomb cereal and makes sure the cinnamon sugar will have something to stick to.
CINNAMON SUGAR: Sprinkle the cereal with cinnamon sugar right when it comes out of the oven so that the sugar sticks to the coating on the cereal. It’s important to do this before the caramel coating has hardened and set. You’ll want to mix them around to coat both sides of the cereal.
STORING: Churro Honeycomb Snack Mix is best enjoyed within 2-3 days, but you can transfer any leftovers into an airtight container or Ziploc bag and store at room temperature for up to 1 week. I do not recommend storing in the fridge as this may alter the chewy texture.
