OK, who here can honestly say they do NOT like Cinnamon Toast Crunch? I love it and have since I was a kid. I have seen it used in breakfast bars, and even many desserts but this is the first time I have seen it in a dessert drink.

While there isn't any actual Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in this drink, it sure reminds me of the cereal and a big bowl of milk. Plus I can't help but munch on them anytime I have one of these dessert drink shots. I haven't been able to convert hubby to the dessert drinks he is more of a candy corn vodka or candy corn jello shot kind of person.

Now the recipe calls for vanilla frosting or corn syrup on the rim of the glasses, and I highly recommend the vanilla frosting it just doesn't taste the same with the corn syrup. The corn syrup is an ok substitute if you are looking to save on the calories but trust me it just isn't the same.
