Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 7 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- Additional mini marshmallows (optional), for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with lightly greased parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of the treats later.
- Melt the butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt ½ cup of butter until fully liquefied but not browned.
- Melt the marshmallows: Add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, taking care not to overheat and burn them.
- Fold in the cereal: Remove the pan from heat and immediately fold in 7 cups of Lucky Charms cereal, ensuring all pieces are well coated with the marshmallow mixture. Add additional mini marshmallows if desired, mixing gently until incorporated.
- Transfer and shape the mixture: Pour the sticky mixture into the prepared baking dish and lightly press down into an even, loosely packed layer with a spatula or clean hands for uniform thickness.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle extra Lucky Charms cereal marshmallows over the top for added color and texture.
- Let set: Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour until firm enough to slice.
- Slice and serve: Carefully lift the parchment paper to remove the treats from the pan and slice into 12 evenly sized bars.
Notes
- For best texture and flavor, enjoy these treats on the day they are made.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigeration to prevent them from hardening.
- Press the mixture gently when transferring to the pan – over-packing can result in dense bars.
- Use greased parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
- Adding extra marshmallows on top enhances the magical look and adds a chewy contrast.
