Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5.5 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 16 ounces (454 grams) marshmallows
- 1 stick (0.5 cups / 113 grams) unsalted butter
Optional Add-Ins:
- Sprinkles
- White chocolate chips
- Mini M&M’s
Instructions
- Prepare a rectangular baking dish by coating the interior with a thin layer of butter or non-stick spray to prevent adhesion.
- Select a generously sized saucepan and melt butter over gentle, low temperature, stirring to ensure even melting.
- Add marshmallows to the softened butter, maintaining low heat and continuously stirring until the marshmallows transform into a silky, uniform liquid without any solid remnants.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat source and rapidly incorporate Lucky Charms cereal, ensuring every morsel receives an even marshmallow coating through thorough, swift mixing.
- Carefully transfer the sticky cereal mixture into the pre-greased baking dish, using a butter-coated spatula or lightly greased hands to distribute and compress the mixture uniformly across the pan’s surface.
- Refrigerate the pan for approximately 15-20 minutes, allowing the treats to solidify and achieve a firm, stable consistency.
- Once the mixture has set, utilize a sharp knife to slice the treats into symmetrical squares or rectangular bars, creating neat, individual servings ready for immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Select a non-stick pan to prevent sticky marshmallow residue and make clean-up easier.
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best stretchy, gooey texture that binds the cereal perfectly.
- Customize by adding colorful sprinkles or drizzling melted chocolate over the treats for extra fun and visual appeal.
- Experiment with different marshmallow flavors or mix Lucky Charms with other cereals to create unique variations that kids and adults will love.
