Lucky Charm Krispie Treats
Lucky Charm Krispie Treats are big, chewy, gooey and full of marshmallows, Lucky Charms and Rice Krispies cereals. These treats are so fun and easy to make with the kids, not to mention they are super yummy!
Equipment
- large 6-qt saucepan
- 9 x 13-inch baking dish
- Rubber/silicone spatula
- large spoon
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp (113g) butter, 1/2 cup (1 stick) Plus 1 tablespoon if you're buttering the pan instead of using non-stick cooking spray
- 20 oz (567g) mini marshmallows, 11 cups (divided, reserve 5 oz to mix in at the end)
- 8 cups (285g) Lucky Charms cereal
- 2 cups (56g) Rice Krispies cereal
- non-stick cooking spray or butter to grease the pan
Instructions
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan on low heat.
- Once the butter is completely melted add 15 oz (1 1/2 bags if you’re using two 10 oz bags) of the marshmallows. (Add the remaining 5 oz of marshmallows later.)
- Keep heat on low and melt marshmallows, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pot with a rubber/silicone spatula or a wooden spoon.
- Add both cereals to the saucepan with the melted butter and marshmallows and mix together with a large rubber/silicone spatula or a large spoon until combined.
- Add the remaining 5 oz of unmelted marshmallows and mix with the cereal mixture until combined.
- Add treat mixture to your prepared 9 x 13-inch baking dish and spray your hand with non-stick cooking spray (or use butter or shortening).
- Lightly press treats down evenly with your hand. Don’t press them hard or compact them. You want them to be light.
- Cover with plastic wrap for at least 1 hour. Cut into 12 even squares with a sharp knife.
- Enjoy!
