Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day

• This fun and festive dessert needs only 4 ingredients and 3 steps, they are ready to enjoy as soon as they are cooled and cut!
• It’s fun to celebrate all things green on St. Patrick’s Day. Soft and chewy Lucky Charms treats are perfect for sharing at a picnic, classroom party, or after-school surprise!

Ingredients for Lucky Charm Treats

Cereal: Use Lucky Charms or even a store-brand cereal with marshmallow bits.

Marshmallows: Just like Rice Krispie Treats, marshmallows help hold these squares together. I prefer mini marshmallows because they’re easier to melt but large ones (or even flavored ‘mallows) will work.

Other: Butter and vanilla flavor these treats.

How to Make Lucky Charm Treats

It’s fun and easy to make this sweet dessert:

1. Separate marshmallow charms from the cereal.
2. Melt butter and mini marshmallows until smooth and creamy.
3. Add vanilla and cereal. Press into pan & cover with marshmallow charms.
4. Press into the top & allow bars to cool completely before cutting.

Tips & Tricks

• Mini marshmallows will melt faster than large marshmallows.
• For thicker bars, press the mixture into a smaller pan.
• Keep Lucky Charms treats in a covered container at room temperature for up to a week.
• Wrap squares separately in plastic wrap and save them to pop into a backpack or briefcase for a midday snack!

Lucky Charms Treats

Lucky Charms Treats are the perfect no-bake after school or lunch box snack. These take just a few minutes to make and of course, the kids love ’em!

Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes minutes

Total Time 20 minutes minutes

• Butter a 9 x 13 pan and set aside.

• In a large pot, melt butter and mini marshmallows over medium heat until smooth and creamy. Stir in vanilla and cereal (not the marshmallow charms).

• Press warm cereal mixture into the pan. Sprinkle immediately with marshmallow charms and gently press to adhere.

• Cool completely and cut into squares.

Note: For a thicker square, use a smaller pan. If the squares are thick, press 1/2 of the cereal into the pan & sprinkle with 1/2 of the marshmallow charms. Top with remaining cereal and marshmallows.
