Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
Binding Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) marshmallows
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a 9″ x 9″ pan by thoroughly coating with butter or nonstick spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking. Consider lining with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Place marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until they become puffy and completely melted. Alternatively, use a stovetop method for melting.
- Incorporate butter and salt into the melted marshmallows, stirring until smooth and fully integrated. Grease your spatula with cooking spray to prevent mixture from sticking.
- Carefully fold in Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms cereals, gently mixing to ensure even distribution. Set aside a handful of colorful Lucky Charms marshmallows for final decoration.
- Transfer the cereal-marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan, using a greased spatula or cooking spray-coated hands to evenly distribute and firmly press the mixture into all corners.
- While the mixture remains warm, scatter the reserved Lucky Charms marshmallows across the surface for an extra burst of color and sweetness. Allow treats to cool to room temperature or expedite setting by placing in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Once completely set, carefully loosen edges with a knife and remove from pan. Slice into 9 equal squares, creating uniform treats ready for immediate enjoyment or storage.
Notes
- Customize marshmallow levels by adjusting sweetness to personal preference, using fewer or more marshmallows depending on desired gooeyness.
- Try alternative cereals like Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Krispies for unique flavor variations that keep the classic treat exciting.
- Use a silicone spatula for easier mixing and less sticking, preventing marshmallow mixture from clumping and ensuring smooth, even distribution of ingredients.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days to maintain their soft texture and prevent them from becoming hard or stale.
