Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes

These Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes are everything you loved about childhood rolled up into one!

Cinnamon. Toast. Crunch.

It’s the cereal we all know and love and now it’s part of the cupcakes you just can’t get enough of!

Yeah, I’m talking about these cupcakes, so come and get ’em!

I’ve always been all about breakfast for dinner, but what about breakfast for DESSERT! Or dinner and dessert, and maybe lunch too! When General Mills released their Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch I couldn’t pick up a box at Shaws fast enough. There’s just something about the chocolate and cinnamon combo that really brings the flavors to life! I mean we’re walking about moist and rich chocolate cupcakes dipped in butter and cinnamon and sugar, then finished with a whipped chocolate frosting with actual cereal pieces in it! I know, I know, you can’t make them fast enough, right?

These make for a great after school treat, potluck or game day dessert, and of course they’re perfect for birthdays too!
