    Ingredients Needed

    Here are some notes on the ingredients we'll be using. For the full ingredients list, look at the recipe card below.

    • Butter: I used unsalted butter.
    • Mini Marshmallows: Make sure to use fresh marshmallows. If they're stale they won't melt as easily.
    • Lucky Charms Cereal: Although there are many different types of Lucky Charms, I used the classic box with all of the fun marshmallow shapes.
    Ingredients needed: lucky charms, butter, and marshmallows.

    Instructions

    Here are the step by step instructions on how to make these Lucky Charms bars.

    Step 1: Melt butter. In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir occasionally until completely melted.

    Step 2: Add the cereal. Add the delicious Lucky Charms cereal and gently fold together using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until evenly coated.

    Step 3: Press into baking pan. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and use a piece of parchment paper that's been sprayed with non-stick spray to press it down into an even layer.

    Step 4: Cool and serve. Wait about 15 minutes before slicing them into bars and serving.

    Storage Tips

    Although they're best consumed within 1-2 days, they will last up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

    Expert Baking Tips

    • Baking Pan: Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. You could also use two 8x8-inch baking pans.
    • Melting Marshmallows: It's important to occasionally stir your marshmallows until melted to aviod burning.
    • Parchment Paper: Use a piece of parchment paper lightly sprayed with non-stick spray to evenly press down the cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish.

    Recipe FAQs

    What Else Can I Add To These?

    You could dip each bar into melted white chocolate to make them more of a sweet treat.

    Can You Just Buy The Colorful Marshmallows?

    You actually can on Amazon! I've tried them before and they're great!
