Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 bag mini marshmallows, divided (16 oz)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 cups Lucky Charms cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside. This will prevent the treats from sticking and make it easier to remove them once set.
- Melt butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add all but one cup of the mini marshmallows and reduce the heat to low. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add flavor and cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Then add the Lucky Charms cereal along with the remaining one cup of mini marshmallows. Fold gently to combine all ingredients without crushing the cereal.
- Press into pan and set: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using your fingers dipped in water, gently press the treats evenly into the pan to compact them slightly. Allow the treats to set at room temperature for one hour until firm.
Notes
- Using parchment paper helps with easy removal and cleanup.
- Pressing the treats gently with wet fingers prevents sticking and ensures a compact texture.
- For variation, you can add chopped nuts or drizzle melted chocolate on top before setting.
- Store the treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
