Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats

Let me introduce y’all to one of the FUNNEST desserts of all time -- Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats! Not going to lie, these treats bring me straight back to 1st grade when I would bring one to school every single day for snack time. It was always a toss-up between a Rice Krispie Treat or the unforgettable Handi-Snacks Crackers & Spreadable Cheese Dip. Those were the days lol!

When coming up with this recipe -- I asked myself… “How can I make Rice Krispie Treats that are super unique & unforgettable?” Well, you guessed it -- Lucky Charms did the trick y’all! There is just something that is SO great about the crunch of the frosted cereal & colorful marshmallows combined with the crispy rice cereal! The combination is truly magical -- adults & kids will go crazyyy for these!

It’s been a while since I made Rice Krispie Treats & I almost forgot how EASY they are to make & take less than 10 minutes to whip together!!! The only thing you have to allot for is time for them to cool & set at room temperature. Cannot wait for y’all to try these!

Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats

Yield: 8-10

Author: Hayden Jordan

Prep time: 10 MinInactive time: 1 H & 30 MTotal time: 1 H & 40 M

Ingredients

• 3 cups Lucky Charms cereal
• ¼ cup Lucky Charms marshmallows, picked out separately from the box
• 3 cups Rice Krispie cereal
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 (10 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
• ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, gently mix together the Lucky Charms and Rice Krispie cereals. Set aside and reserve the ¼ cup of Lucky Charms marshmallows as a garnish.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the entire bag of mini marshmallows and stir constantly with a large spoon until completely melted. Immediately turn off the heat. Stir in the salt and vanilla quickly. Once combined, immediately pour the hot mixture over the cereal. Using an extra-large spatula, gently fold in the marshmallow mixture until combined.
3. Lightly spray a 9×9” baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the cereal mixture into the pan. Gently press the mixture into an even layer using a metal spatula. Sprinkle the reserved Lucky Charms marshmallows over the top and gently press them down so they stick. Let the rice krispies cool at room temperature for 1 ½ – 2 hours. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out. Cut into squares just before serving.

Notes

Store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
