For over a week I have been gazing at the giant box of family size Lucky Charms cereal that have been sitting on my kitchen counter. Toodie LOVES her Lucky Charms. We buy them frequently, more like weekly, and they are gone quicker than I can keep them in the pantry. When I was younger I remember picking all of the marshmallows out and pouring the plain cereal back in the box for the next poor soul to discover.Sugar makes you do crazy things and many boxes fell victim to my scheme. With this memory in mind I knew that I could turn our favorite cereal into something even more addicting. Yes, it is possible. I created something amazing and incredibly simple to make. They also don’t require any baking!
I have yet to find one person in this world that doesn’t love the ooey gooey delicious-ness of a Rice Krispie Treat. They’re a classic dessert for children and adults. Using that giant box of Lucky Charms that have been eyeballing me I made Magically Delicious Marshmallow Bars. Forget the pot of gold because I doubt any leprechaun can keep their little hands off these!
- 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal
- 1 10 oz. package of regular sized marshmallows
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows ( for ooey gooey treats!)
- 4 tablespoons of butter
Directions:
- In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat.
- Add in marshmallows. Stir until they are melted and blended with the butter. Remove from heat.
- Pour in cereal and fold in the marshmallow mixture. Stir until all of the cereal is coated.
- Using cooking spray or butter, coat a 9×13 baking dish.
- Press mixture into the coated pan and allow to cool.
- Cut into squares or use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
What kind of treats have you made out of your favorite cereal?
When I was a kid I always loved how Lucky Charms dyed my milk a weird gray. The dyes look prettier spread on the marshmallows. I will try this with my natural organic cereals!
What a good idea. When we get Lucky Charms, my kids ONLY eat the marshmallows, so they would probably really like these!!
This does look magically delicious. I love Lucky Charms and always pick out all of the marshmallows when I'm making myself a bowl of cereal. I never thought to use Lucky Charms for this, but I love it.
I remember when I used to make these for my daughter, she used to pick on the marshmellows! These are so popular when we made parties, kids would jump on these.
My son loves Lucky Charms, it's his favorite cereal. I bet he'd love these marshmallow bars. We may just have to make some this weekend.
My son's favorite cereal is lucky charms, so I bet he would love these delicious looking marshmallow bars. We may have to make some this weekend!
Oh, these look delicious! I will be making these next week for sure!
I need one of these with my coffee right now. YUM. My kids would love these too. We rarely buy Lucky Charms, so this would be an even bigger treat! 🙂
I can't keep lucky charms in my house because I want to eat it as much as the kids. These look amazing and I may have to buy a box just to make these!!
FUN twist on crispy treats!! my kids would flip for these for sure!
Love the Lucky Charms! Perfect for a little St. Patrick's Day treat for the kids. Actually, I would devour them too!
I have not made those before but my kids (and husband) love Lucky Charms. So I will have to make these. Thanks for sharing!!
What a fun twist on this recipe! This would be a great St Patrick's Day treat.
These are perfect for St. Patty's day. I haven't made any marshmallow treats with my girls, this may be a good one.
These look a thousand times better than Rice Crispy Treats! I am so going to make some for my travels coming up!
My kids love it when I make these!
YUM! I love marshmallow-y treats. The more marshmallow-y the better. LOL! I'd love a couple of these right now. I have a box of Lucky Charms so I think I'll make these this weekend! Now, wonder if we could find a way to enjoy them and "magically" subtract the calories. 🙂
These look delicious! I bet my kids would love them!
These marshmallow bars look so tasty. I love the colors. They're perfect for Spring time treats.
Ha ha what a good idea and this forces the kids to eat the cereal instead of the marshmallows. I am def pinning this! Thanks.
I really love Rice Krispie treats. These look so great, too!
These look yummy!! I recently made Lucky Charms popcorn with white chocolate – it's delicious!
I am not a fan of marshmallows. But these look so cute and festive!
These look sinful….I can't wait to make them!
This looks like the stuff of my childhood fantasies…I'm not even sure if it's dessert or breakfast! I'm saving this!
Oh my kids would love these! Thanks for the recipe, I now have something new to try with them. 🙂
I love that you used Lucky Charms! My kids would LOVE these!
What a good idea to use Lucky Charms. I'm grown and love those marshmallows. 🙂
These look so adorable – and yummy! We just bought a big box of Lucky Charms at Publix today… I know what to do with them now 😉
Rice Krispie treats are a favorite around here but I really need to try using Lucky Charms for the recipe. My son loves the "Marshmallow Cereal" as he calls it!
Very, very fun and festive! They look yummy too!
These look like fun. My kids haven't regularly gone for similar types of treats, but I bet those marshmallows would convince them to try again!
Those colorful treats look so delicious… Kids would certainly love the magical colors too.
What a fun take on rice crispy treats. I love how they stick with marshmallows but also have the solid pieces of marshmallows in them as well.
love lucky charms…these look super thanks
Wow those look SO delicious!
I was JUST talking to my fiance about making lucky charms treatss!!! I knew they would be delicious. Definitely have to use this recipe.
