Description
Chewy Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats are a colorful, no-bake twist on classic cereal bars. Gooey melted marshmallows coat crunchy Lucky Charms cereal (including the fun marshmallow shapes) for a kid-friendly snack that’s perfect for school parties, holidays, and quick sweet cravings.
Ingredients
4 tbsp (57 g) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
10 oz (283 g) mini marshmallows
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
6 cups (about 180 g) Lucky Charms cereal
1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
1. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper (or lightly butter it).
2. Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat.
3. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
4. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and sea salt.
5. Add Lucky Charms cereal and fold gently until evenly coated.
6. Fold in sprinkles (optional) just until mixed (don’t over-stir).
7. Press the mixture into the prepared pan using a buttered spatula or lightly buttered hands.
8. Let cool 30 minutes, then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
For extra-chewy treats, add 1–2 cups mini marshmallows after removing the pot from heat, then mix in cereal.
To reduce sweetness, swap 1 cup of Lucky Charms for 1 cup plain puffed rice cereal.
Press gently—packing too hard can make bars dense instead of chewy.
Storage: Keep airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days (best texture in the first 24–48 hours).
Optional: Add 2 tbsp colorful candy bits or mini chocolate chips after cooling slightly.
