Ingredients
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a pan over low heat, melt the butter slowly to avoid burning, ensuring it forms a smooth base to combine the marshmallows.
- Melt Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir frequently until completely melted and smooth, forming a sticky, gooey mixture.
- Mix Cereal: Stir in the Lucky Charms cereal, folding it gently to coat all the pieces evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
- Prepare Pan: Spray a 9×13-inch pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Press Mixture: Spoon the Lucky Charms treat mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a spatula or wax paper to gently press down and compact the treats.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the mixture to cool and harden for about an hour at room temperature, then cut into perfect-sized pieces and serve.
Notes
- This recipe is especially kid-friendly due to its sweet, colorful presentation and easy preparation.
- Use non-stick spray generously to ensure the treats release easily from the pan.
- For softer treats, serve immediately; for firmer bars, refrigerate until set.
- You can substitute Lucky Charms with any other similar cereal to vary flavors.
