A fun and colorful twist on classic Rice Krispie treats using Lucky Charms cereal and a creamy homemade marshmallow frosting. Perfect for celebrations and quick sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85 g)
  • 10 ounces marshmallows (about 280 g), preferably Jet-Puffed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal (about 180 g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any kind, including dairy-free)
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 6 tablespoons (85 g) of unsalted butter, about 3 minutes, avoiding browning.
  3. Stir in 10 ounces (about 280 g) of marshmallows and continue stirring gently until fully melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth, then fold into the marshmallow mixture to create frosting.
  6. Quickly add 6 cups (about 180 g) Lucky Charms cereal to the marshmallow frosting mixture and fold gently but thoroughly to coat all cereal.
  7. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking dish and press down firmly and evenly using a parchment paper-lined spatula or lightly greased hands.
  8. Let the treats sit at room temperature for about 1 hour or refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  9. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried to cut the treats into squares or shapes.

Notes

Melt butter and marshmallows on low heat to avoid burning. Work quickly when mixing cereal with marshmallow frosting to prevent clumps. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and press treats evenly. Cut with a warm knife for clean edges. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
