Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter (about ¾ cup)
  • 16 ounces marshmallows, divided in half
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cereal

  • 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • ¼ cup Lucky Charms marshmallows (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a medium-sized pot over low heat, melt the salted butter until fully liquid.
  2. Add Marshmallows and Vanilla: Pour in half of the marshmallows and the vanilla extract into the melted butter. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Mix Cereal: Remove the pot from heat and fold in the Lucky Charms cereal until it is almost fully incorporated, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated.
  4. Add Remaining Marshmallows: Add the second half of marshmallows to the mixture and gently stir until combined. Be careful not to melt these marshmallows fully—they add texture and interest to the bars.
  5. Prepare Pan: Spoon the mixture into a parchment paper-lined 9×13-inch baking pan. Press gently and evenly into the edges to form an even layer.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the Lucky Charms marshmallows on top to enhance appearance and add extra crunch.
  7. Cool and Set: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature until firm enough to cut.
  8. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy your colorful, chewy Lucky Charms bars!

Notes

  • Use a 9×13 inch pan for optimal thickness.
  • Press mixture gently into the pan to avoid crushing the cereal.
  • Do not fully melt the second half of the marshmallows to keep texture contrast.
  • Store bars in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
  • These bars are ready to eat once cooled; no baking required.
  • For easier cutting, cool bars in the refrigerator before slicing.
