How to Make Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats
Slice your butter into chunks and combine it with 8 cups of mini marshmallows in a large mixing bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes.
Immediately stir until the marshmallows are no longer chunky and the butter is fully mixed in.
Add the remaining 2 cups marshmallows and 5 cups Lucky Charms to the melted marshmallows and gently fold them together until the cereal and unmelted marshmallows are fully covered.
Spray a 9x13 cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the mixture to the pan and gently spread even in the pan.
Sprinkle the remaining cup of Lucky Charms over the top and lightly press to ensure it sticks to the top.
Let rest for about an hour or until set. Slice and enjoy!
Tips:
If you want super thick rice Krispie treats, double the recipe or use an 8x8 pan, except for the cup of cereal on the top. That will remain the same unless you want less.
You may not have to leave them for an hour, as they often set pretty quickly. However, I tend to let them have plenty of time to rest as they’re easier to cute and less messy that way.
You don’t have to add the mini marshmallows to the mixture. You can replace it with more cereal. It calls for 2 cups of mini marshmallows so swap it for 2 cups of cereal.
Don’t press the mixture down into the pan too hard or you’ll make the treats tough. They’ll pack really tight making them like jerky tough. Believe me…I made this mistake before. Don’t do it!
You can make the butter and marshmallow mixture over the stuff instead of the microwave if desired. It’s just quicker to use the microwave, which is why it’s my cooking method of choice.
In Conclusion
These treats are perfect for any time of day - enjoy them as an afternoon snack with friends or as a sweet treat after dinner!
The vibrant green hue from Lucky Charms cereal adds an extra bit of magic along with its signature crunch that pairs perfectly with the gooey marshmallow center.
And don't forget about those charm-shaped bites - so fun for entertaining kids (and adults alike)!
