Lucky Charms Treats

These cereal treats swap Rice Krispies for Lucky Charms, making for a magically delicious no bake treat that's easy enough for the kiddos to make! We add in extra dehydrated marshmallows for a fun pop of color and loads of crunchy marshmallow goodness.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat until melted.
  • Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows have melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Add the cereal and 1/4 cup of dehydrated marshmallows to the mixture and stir to coat.
  • Press mixture into a greased 9x13 dish.
  • Press remaining 1/4 cup of cereal marshmallows over the top of the cereal bars, if desired.
  • Let set for at least one hour to fully cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

The bag of dehydrated cereal marshmallows taste just like Lucky Charms marshmallows, but are more pastel in color. We picked out a handful of Lucky Charms marshmallows for pressing on the top and then added a ½ cup of the bagged marshmallows in with the cereal, just for looks. 
The extra dehydrated marshmallows are totally optional, but we love the extra flavor and color they add to these bars. They're not super cheap, so it's fine to skip them if you don't want to purchase a whole bag of them. Alternately, buy a second box of Lucky Charms and just pick out the marshmallows for using in these bars. It's cheaper than buying a whole bag of marshmallows, though you will have a sad box of cereal to deal with afterwards.
