A quick and easy treat combining the classic crispy texture of Rice Krispie treats with colorful Lucky Charms and gooey marshmallow swirls for a nostalgic and fun snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups (about 240 grams) mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups (about 180 grams) Lucky Charms cereal
  • 1 cup (about 60 grams) extra mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter until fully melted.
  3. Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth and shiny, about 5-7 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  5. Immediately add 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal to the marshmallow mixture and fold gently with a spatula to coat the cereal without overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of extra mini marshmallows halfway, leaving some unmixed to create gooey swirls.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press down gently but firmly with a buttered spatula or wax paper to even out the surface without crushing the cereal.
  8. Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until set but still gooey.
  9. Cut into squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade with a warm towel between cuts for clean edges.
  10. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

Use low heat when melting butter and marshmallows to avoid burning. Do not overmix the cereal to keep it crunchy. Butter your spatula or hands when pressing the mixture to prevent sticking. Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For vegan or gluten-free options, substitute ingredients accordingly.
