Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: ¼ cup
- Mini Marshmallows: 10 oz
- Lucky Charms Cereal: 6 cups
Directions
- Melt the Butter:
- In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. It’s important to keep the heat low to avoid browning the butter, which can affect the flavor of your treats.
- Add Marshmallows:
- Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix in the Magic:
- Remove the pot from heat. Quickly stir in the Lucky Charms cereal until every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. This step needs to be done swiftly to ensure the marshmallow does not set before the cereal is fully mixed in.
- Press and Cool:
- Transfer the marshmallow and cereal mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Press the mixture evenly into the pan, creating a flat and uniform layer.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature. This will set the marshmallow, making the treats easier to cut.

Tips
- Cutting: For perfectly clean cuts, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it off between each cut. This method helps easily slice through the sticky marshmallow without tearing the treats.
- Storage: Store the marshmallow treats in an airtight container at room temperature. This keeps them chewy and fresh for several days.
- Best Enjoyed: These treats are best enjoyed at room temperature. Serving them this way ensures they are soft and chewy, enhancing the overall texture and flavor.
