Ingredients
- 7 cups Lucky Charms cereal (10 ounces, 275g)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (70g)
- 7 cups mini marshmallows (12 ounces, 340g)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil. Spray the pan first with nonstick cooking spray if needed to hold the lining securely in place.
- Prepare the Cereal: Measure out the Lucky Charms cereal. Remove about â…“ cup of the colorful marshmallow pieces and set them aside for topping later.
- Melt the Marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir frequently with a silicone spatula until completely melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat immediately once melted.
- Combine Cereal and Marshmallow: Quickly add the Lucky Charms cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and fold gently to combine, working quickly so marshmallows don’t harden in the bowl.
- Form the Treats: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the silicone spatula or butter wrapper to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the reserved marshmallow pieces evenly over the top and gently press them into the surface.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. Use the parchment paper to lift the treats from the pan. Lightly grease a sharp knife and cut into squares before serving.
Notes
- Work quickly when combining cereal and marshmallow mixture to prevent hardening.
- Use a silicone spatula or butter wrapper to press mixture evenly without sticking.
- Store treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- For easier slicing, chill the pan in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before cutting.
- You can customize by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
