Description
Rice Krispie treats are a classic, crowd-pleasing dessert that brings joy to both children and adults alike and you are going to love these Rice Krispie Treats made with Lucky Charms cereal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal
- 4 cups of mini marshmallows
- 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by lightly greasing a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. This prevents the treats from sticking and makes for easy removal later.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and smooth. If desired, stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until the cereal is thoroughly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can make the treats too dense.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Once set, cut them into squares or rectangles and enjoy!
Notes
- Add variety by mixing in chocolate chips, colorful sprinkles, or chopped nuts with the cereal for added flavor and texture.
