Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons salted butter (85 g)
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 cups Lucky Charms cereal (296 g)
Optional Topping
- 2 oz white chocolate bar, finely chopped (57 g)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) pan with butter and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter: Place 6 tablespoons of salted butter in a large pot and melt over low heat until fully liquid.
- Add Marshmallows and Vanilla: Once butter is melted, add 10 oz of mini marshmallows and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.
- Incorporate Cereal: Remove the pot from heat. Add 8 cups of Lucky Charms cereal to the melted mixture and gently stir until all cereal pieces are evenly coated with marshmallow.
- Transfer Mixture: Immediately spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Press gently to shape but avoid packing it too tightly to keep treats light and chewy.
- Cool Completely: Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature so the treats can set properly.
- Add White Chocolate Drizzle (Optional): If desired, melt 2 oz of chopped white chocolate in the microwave by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled treats for a decorative and flavorful topping.
Notes
- Use a spatula or buttered hands to press the mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.
- Do not over-pack the cereal when pressing; this keeps the treats light and chewy.
- The white chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a nice sweetness and visual appeal.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if preferred.
