Air Fryer Churro Honeycomb Snack Mix
Description
This Air Fryer Churro Honeycomb Snack Mix tastes just like a warm cinnamon-sugar churro! Crunchy honeycomb cereal is tossed in butter, cinnamon, and sugar, then crisped in the air fryer for an easy 4-ingredient snack ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups honeycomb cereal
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, or granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (160°C) for 1–2 minutes.
- Make the coating: In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and vanilla. Slowly fold in the cinnamon and brown sugar until smooth.
- Coat the cereal: Add the honeycomb cereal and gently toss until every piece is evenly coated.
- Air fry: Spread the cereal in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 300°F (160°C) for 6–8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Cool & serve: Let cool for a few minutes to crisp up, then serve.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Cooking spray (optional)
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Use honeycomb-shaped cereal, not candy honeycomb.
- Brown sugar gives a deeper, caramel-churro flavor; granulated keeps it classic.
- Don't overcrowd the basket — cook in batches if doubling.
- Let it cool fully for maximum crunch.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
