Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper (for pan)
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang for easy lifting. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally until fully melted.
- Add mini marshmallows and stir gently until completely melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if using.
- Remove the pot from heat. Add Lucky Charms and Rice Krispies cereals. Gently fold with a spatula until evenly coated. Optionally, toss in 1 cup reserved Lucky Charms marshmallows now.
- Quickly spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Spray spatula (or hands) with nonstick spray, then press gently to spread the mixture evenly. Top with extra Lucky Charms marshmallows for color.
- Let the treats cool completely (about 30-40 minutes at room temperature) or refrigerate for 15 minutes. Lift out using the parchment overhang, then cut into squares.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
For gluten-free treats, use certified gluten-free Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms. Work quickly once cereals are mixed in, as the mixture sets fast. For softer bars, do not press the mixture too firmly into the pan. Spray hands and tools with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Add extra Lucky Charms marshmallows on top for a colorful finish.
