How to Make Lucky Charms Treats
Making this simple recipe is so easy, just follow the step-by-step directions and you will have a delicious recipe in no time at all.
Step 1: Melt the butter and marshmallows
Slice your butter into chunks and combine it with 8 cups of mini marshmallows in a large mixing bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes. Immediately stir until the marshmallows are no longer chunky and the butter is fully mixed in.
Step 2: Add the cereal and remaining marshmallows
Add the remaining 2 cups marshmallows and 5 cups Lucky Charms to the melted marshmallows and gently fold together until the cereal and the remaining marshmallows are fully covered.
Step 3: Spread into a baking dish
Spray a 9×13 cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the mixture to the pan and gently spread even in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining cup of Lucky Charms over the top and lightly press to ensure it sticks to the top. Let rest for about an hour or until set. Slice and enjoy!

Pro Tips
- If you want to press the treats into the pan with your hands, give your hands a quick spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the marshmallows from sticking to your hands.
- Instead of making these in the microwave, you can use a large saucepan or large pot on the stove-top over medium heat.
- Make to keep these tightly sealed with plastic wrap or foil so that they don’t become dry and stale.
- You can switch this recipe up, and use your favorite cereal for a fun twist on this school snack recipe.
- I like to use either my hands or a rubber spatula sprayed with cooking spray to spread these easy treats into the pan.
- Don’t press the mixture down into the pan too hard or you’ll make the treats tough.
Storage
Store these homemade cereal bars in an airtight container for room temperature for up to three days.
