Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (one 10 oz bag)
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Melt the marshmallows and butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mini marshmallows and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, then remove from heat to prevent burning.
- Mix in the cereal: Lightly coat a large mixing bowl with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Add the Lucky Charms cereal to the bowl, then pour the melted marshmallow mixture over it. Stir thoroughly until the cereal is completely coated with the marshmallow sauce.
- Prepare the pan: Spray a small 9-inch baking pan or casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking of the treats.
- Transfer and press: Pour the cereal and marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan. Using a spatula coated with cooking spray (to keep it from sticking), gently spread and press the mixture into one even layer.
- Chill and set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least one hour. This allows the treats to firm up and become easier to cut.
- Serve: Once set, cut into squares or desired shapes and enjoy your festive Lucky Charms cereal treats!
Notes
- Using cooking spray on your spatula and bowl will help prevent the sticky marshmallow mixture from clinging.
- Be careful when melting the marshmallows over medium heat to avoid burning them.
- These treats are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature and consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
- You can customize by adding extra marshmallows or other mix-ins for texture variation.
