Lucky Charms Treats
These colorful, no-bake Lucky Charms Treats come together in under an hour, packed with marshmallow magic and perfect for stashing in dessert bars boxes or sharing at your next festive gathering.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal (marshmallow-heavy end of the box)
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows (save a handful for stirring in extra marshmallow bits)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temp; can swap coconut oil for dairy-free)
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt balances sweetness
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional, but it amps up flavor
- Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper (for lining the pan)
Instructions
- Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment or mist it with nonstick spray for easy removal.
- In a saucepan, melt butter, then add mini marshmallows and stir until melted and glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir in salt and vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
- Fold in Lucky Charms cereal and reserved marshmallows, then transfer mixture to the pan and press down firmly.
- Let cool for 30–40 minutes, then slice into bars. Chilling in the fridge briefly makes cutting easier.
Notes
For a lighter version, stir in ½ cup puffed quinoa or toasted oats to add chew and lower the sugar per serving.
