Description

Add some fun and color to your dessert table with these Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats! This easy, no-bake treat combines Rice Krispies with the vibrant marshmallows from Lucky Charms cereal for a festive and delicious twist. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any time you want a fun, chewy snack that the whole family can enjoy.


Ingredients

  • 5 cups Lucky Charms cereal, plus extra marshmallows for topping
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 (10.5 oz) bag mini marshmallows
  • 5 teaspoons salted butter
  • Green gel food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Baking Dish: Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Melt the Marshmallows: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mini marshmallows in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until fully melted.
  • Melt the Butter: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-second increments until almost completely melted.
  • Combine Butter and Marshmallows: Add the melted butter to the melted marshmallows and microwave for an additional 20 seconds. Stir to combine.
  • Add Food Coloring: If using, add a few drops of green gel food coloring to the marshmallow mixture and stir until the desired color is achieved.
  • Add Cereals: Add the Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms cereals to the marshmallow mixture. Stir gently until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  • Transfer to Baking Dish: Using a buttered rubber spatula, evenly spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Add Extra Marshmallows: Sprinkle additional Lucky Charms marshmallows on top for extra color and texture.
  • Set and Serve: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the treats to set. Once set, cut into 12 squares (or 8 for larger treats) and serve.

Notes

  • Color Variations: Use different food colors to match various holidays or celebrations.
  • Add-ins: Mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or crushed candy bars can be added for extra texture and flavor.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
