Marshmallow Treats
If you didn’t know by now, marshmallow treats aren’t just for Rice Krispies, they can be made with ANY cereal. Think of all the possibilities!
I have actually made fruity pebble rice crispy treats before and turned them into Christmas tree treats. So fun to experiment!
With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I wanted to use Lucky Charms cereal. They tasted great and the colorful marshmallows made them extra cute and added a unique crunch.
These lucky charms marshmallow treats are great for packing in lunches or for an on-the-go snack. Of course they make a quick and easy no-bake dessert too.
Lucky Charms Treats Recipe
You only need 3 ingredients to make these homemade lucky charms treats.
- Lucky Charms Cereal
- Butter
- Mini Marshmallows
How to Make Marshmallow Treat Bars
After you’ve gathered your ingredients it’s time to make the lucky charms treats.
- Melt the butter and marshmallows together in a large pan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until just melted.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal.
- Fold the cereal and marshmallow mixture together.
- Empty the mixture into a greased pan and press evenly.
Allow the cereal bars to cool completely before cutting, for best results. This can take up to 2 hours at room temperature or 15-30 minutes in the fridge/freezer.
Warm marshmallow treats are just as delicious to eat, but slightly messy.
Store any leftovers inside the pan, covered tightly with foil or plastic wrap, for up to 5-7 days.
Recipe Tips
Making cereal treats seems like a no-brainer, but I’ve got some tips for optimal success.
- Use Salted Butter. For cereal treats I like to use salted butter to balance out the sweetness of the cereal and marshmallows. If you only have unsalted butter, you can always add 1/2 teaspoon of salt as you melt the butter and marshmallows together.
- Don’t over-melt the marshmallows. When the marshmallows are almost melted, I like to pull the pan off the heat and keep stirring until they finish melting. If they get too hot they can caramelize/burn. Plus it will take longer for them to cool before you can cut them and eat them.
- Save some colorful marshmallows to press into the top of these lucky charms bars after you press the mixture into the pan. This makes them pretty, but isn’t “necessary.”
- You can use one 13×9-inch pan or TWO 8×8-inch pans for these lucky charms treats.
- If you use a big enough stock pot (6+ quart), you can add the cereal straight into the pot with the melted marshmallow mixture. One less bowl to wash.
