Lucky Charm Marshmallow Treats
These cereal bars are some of my favorites to make because of how simple they are! Rice Krispie Treats are a classic, but they can be made with just about any cereal. Not only are Lucky Charms my favorite cereal but they include Lucky Charms marshmallows which, when added to cereal treats, make them SO GOOD!
These treats are perfect for kids and adults for any time of the year, but especially during the St. Patties Day season! They’re easy to make, no bake, with a gooey crunchy texture – you’re going to love them!
Ingredients Needed
- Marshmallows: You can use mini marshmallows (a 10 oz bag) or regular size (a 12 ounce bag).
- Lucky Charms Cereal: the best!
- Vanilla: I love using pure vanilla extract
- Butter: You can use unsalted or salted butter. It’s helpful if it’s room temperature, but not required.
How to make Lucky Charm Treats
- Place butter in a large pot over medium low heat. Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir until combined. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. It’s best to use a rubber spatula for this.
- Add cereal and stir to coat with the marshmallow mixture. Pour into a 9×9-inch square pan. Press cereal mixture firmly to compact into the baking dish.
- Let set until firm then slice into bars. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

I really like these even better than crispy cereal. But…I’ve loved Lucky Charms all of my life well since I was 4 when they came out. And at 64 I still have them in my pantry. Was trying them out for a treat for my young nephews, wink, wink but not sure they’ll make it out my front door😊
I made this today using 3 bags of leftover marshmallows! I used the lowest heat and found I needed to keep stirring melted butter and marshmallows so it did not burn on the bottom. Adding the cereal I had to work quickly so it didn’t firm up in the pan before I could get them into the 9 x 13 pan. I sprayed the wax paper and my palm so it made it easier to press into place in the pan.
They look delicious and I will definitely make them again. My grandkids will love them and they will easily fit into a lunch bag for school or for an anytime snack! And the best part about this recipe, I had all the ingredients on hand! Thank you for providing this recipe today in my email! Dorothy, you are the best!
So glad you like them!!
