Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats
Description
This recipe blends butter and mini marshmallows melted into a creamy base, which is then mixed with crisped rice cereal for a crunchy, chewy texture. Adding Lucky Charms marshmallows both inside the mixture and pressed on top introduces pockets of fruity sweetness and a fun, colorful appearance. Pressing the mixture into a lined dish ensures smooth, even bars that hold their shape well once set.
Once cooled for about an hour, the treats can be sliced into squares for serving. This no-bake dessert is a nostalgic twist on traditional rice krispie treats, incorporating the iconic Lucky Charms marshmallows for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 10- ounce mini marshmallow bag
- 6 to 7 cups crisped rice cereal
- 2 cups marshmallow lucky charms marshmallows or as many as you can find in the bag
Instructions
- Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick spray. You can also use a 9x13 inch baking dish, the squares just won't be as thick!
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Once the butter is melted and even a little browned, stir in the mini marshmallows. Stir until the mixture is creamy and the marshmallows have melted.
- Turn off the heat and fold in the rice krispies. Completely mix until all the rice cereal is mixed in. Stir in 1 cup of the lucky charms marshmallows and fold them in for a few minutes. Press the mixture into the dish. I like to press it down with a piece of parchment paper so it gets super smooth on top and it doesn't stick to the spoon. Then I press the remaining lucky charm marshmallows into the top! Let them set for about an hour. Slice into squares and serve!
