Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons (85 g) salted butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 cups (296 g) Lucky Charms cereal
Optional Topping
- 2 oz (57 g) white chocolate bar, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) pan with butter and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Melt butter: Place the butter in a large pot and melt it over low heat until fully liquefied.
- Add marshmallows and vanilla: Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine with cereal: Remove the pot from heat. Add the Lucky Charms cereal and gently stir until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer to pan: Immediately spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Press gently to flatten without packing tightly, which can make the treats dense and tough.
- Cool: Allow the treats to cool completely in the pan at room temperature.
- Add topping (optional): If desired, melt the chopped white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled treats to decorate.
Notes
- Use low heat to melt butter and marshmallows to avoid burning or scorching.
- Do not pack the cereal mixture tightly when pressing into the pan for a light and chewy texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep treats fresh and chewy.
- For a fun twist, add sprinkles or extra marshmallows on top before the mixture cools.
- White chocolate topping is optional but adds a lovely sweetness and attractive finish.
