Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 16 oz mini marshmallows (or regular size; mini marshmallows melt faster)
  • 11.5 oz Lucky Charms cereal

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a pot over medium heat, melt the salted butter until fully liquefied. Then, add the salt and marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows and butter are completely melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
  2. Add Cereal: Turn off the heat, then add the Lucky Charms cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until the cereal is completely coated with the marshmallow mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  3. Form Bars: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Press the mixture evenly into the pan; for thicker bars, use a smaller pan. Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into bars. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using mini marshmallows helps them melt faster and mix more evenly.
  • You can spray the pan with non-stick spray or lightly butter it to prevent sticking.
  • For thicker bars, use a smaller pan to press the mixture into.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a twist, you can add chocolate chips or nuts into the mixture before pressing into the pan.
