Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large pot over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter completely, ensuring it pools evenly at the base without browning.
- Add Marshmallows: Add the 10 oz package of marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth with no lumps remaining.
- Mix in Cereal and Mini Marshmallows: Remove the pot from heat and immediately add 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal along with 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly, ensuring the cereal is well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press into Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Transfer the cereal mixture into the pan and press down firmly and evenly using a spatula or your hands (grease your hands slightly to prevent sticking) to create a compact, even layer.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the pressed mixture to cool completely in the pan at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes so the treats firm up. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For easier pressing and less sticking, lightly grease your hands or use a spatula when pressing the mixture into the pan.
- You can substitute regular marshmallows with gluten-free marshmallows if necessary.
- To keep the treats fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Adding mini marshmallows inside adds extra chewiness and a fun texture contrast.
- This recipe is very kid-friendly and great for classroom parties or family gatherings.
