Ingredients
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the mini marshmallows and stir frequently until they’re completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the Lucky Charms cereal until evenly coated.
- Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
- Spoon the cereal mixture into the pan and gently spread it out using a spatula.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until set.
- Cut into squares or bars and serve.
Notes
-
- Storage: Keep treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Avoid refrigeration: Refrigerating them can make the marshmallows hard.
- Prevent sticking: Line your container with wax or parchment paper between layers.
- Softness trick: Place a slice of bread in the container to help retain moisture.
- Serving suggestion: Cut them into fun shapes using cookie cutters for parties.
- To-go idea: Wrap individual bars in plastic wrap for easy lunchbox or picnic snacks.
- Presentation: Drizzle melted chocolate or white chocolate for a polished finish.
- For a clean cut: Use a buttered or non-stick sprayed knife when slicing.
- Reheat tip: If they start to harden, microwave a piece for 5–7 seconds to soften.
- Freezing: Not recommended — it alters the chewy texture.
