Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats
Description
Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats blend melted butter and marshmallows with the familiar cereal’s toasted oats and candy marshmallows. The butter melts first, creating a smooth base, then marshmallows are added and stirred until fully melted and combined. Once the cereal is folded in, the mixture is pressed evenly into a greased pan. After allowing it to cool and firm up for 30 minutes to an hour, the mixture sets into a chewy yet sturdy treat that holds its shape when cut.
The combination of the marshmallows and cereal gives the final bars a mix of soft, gooey texture with a light crunch from the cereals and sweet marshmallow pieces. No baking is required beyond melting the ingredients on the stovetop, making this a simple preparation that yields a bright, fun dessert. Storing the treats at room temperature in an airtight container keeps them fresh for several days.
These treats are convenient for gatherings, kid-friendly, and a quick way to turn a favorite breakfast cereal into a snack or dessert. The recipe’s balance of butter, marshmallows, and cereal is classic for crispy marshmallow bars, with the added charm of Lucky Charms' marshmallows.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter salted
- 8 cups miniature marshmallows
- 10 cups Lucky Charms cereal (11.5-ounce box)
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch pan; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Lucky Charms cereal.
- Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Allow to set at room temperature until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Use a 9x13-inch pan to get bars of consistent thickness and shape.
- Store treats at room temperature in an airtight container to keep them chewy for up to 4 days.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold together well when cut.
- Let the treats cool completely before slicing to avoid them falling apart.
