Cook time: 5 minutes
Servings: 18 to 24
Ingredients
- 1 stick salted butter
- 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 3 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- green food coloring, optional
- additional Lucky Charms marshmallows, optional, for topping
- St. Patrick's Day sprinkles, optional, for topping
Directions
Melt butter over medium-low heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Add the marshmallows and continue stirring until they are mostly melted. Remove from heat and pour in the crispy rice cereal and the Lucky Charms. Stir together until just combined.
Pour mixture into a sprayed 9×13 pan, spread evenly, and let cool before cutting into bars and serving.
Cook’s Note: If desired, mix in a little green food coloring to the butter and marshmallow mixture before stirring in cereal. You may also want to top the treats with extra Lucky Charms marshmallows (found in the marshmallow aisle at your grocery store) or festive St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles!
