Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 42 grams), softened
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows (about 280 grams), for the base
  • 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal (about 150 grams)
  • Marshmallow Drizzle:
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (about 40 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 28 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lightly butter or line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  3. Add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and quickly add 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal. Stir gently until evenly coated.
  5. Pour mixture into prepared pan and press down evenly with a buttered spatula or lightly greased hands, being careful not to press too hard.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  7. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  8. Drizzle the warm marshmallow mixture over the pressed cereal treats using a spoon or small offset spatula.
  9. Allow treats to cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed up setting.
  10. Cut into squares or desired shapes using a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts.

Notes

Use low heat when melting marshmallows to avoid burning. Stir gently when mixing cereal to keep it crunchy. Grease hands or spatula when pressing mixture into pan to prevent sticking. Drizzle while warm for best texture. Use a warm, clean knife for cutting to avoid crumbling. Can be customized with gluten-free or vegan ingredients and additional mix-ins like cinnamon or chocolate chips.
