A nostalgic combo of two childhood favorites: Lucky Charms and Rice Krispie Treats! These lucky charms rice krispie treats are guaranteed to take you right back to childhood. Each cereal treat square is packed with a blend of lucky charms and rice krispie cereal, held together with an extra gooey, buttery marshmallow fluff.
These cereal treats are one of our go-to’s party treats when we are on a time crunch. They are seriously so simple and take just 15 minutes to make. And you will likely have a majority, if not all of the ingredients on hand!
Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Cereal Treats
Direction Snapshot:
1. Melt butter and marshmallows.
2. Stir in cereal.
3. Pour in a pan and chill to set.
Ingredients:
Can you substitute marshmallows for marshmallow fluff?
We recommend you don’t do this for a couple reasons. For starters, we found the pre-made marshmallow creme or fluff can result in a dryer cereal treat, rather than a gooey one! Secondly, the mixture of the mini marshmallows, butter and vanilla add so much more flavor to the treats.
Tips for Success:
How long can you keep homemade rice krispie treats?
If these last more than a couple hours (Ha!) , they will be good at room temperature, in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
We have a couple sets of these glass airtight and leak proof containers and they are amazing for storing any left overs.
