Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare your pan by lining a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter completely.
  3. Pour the mini marshmallows into the melted butter and stir constantly until smooth and glossy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using.
  5. Add the Lucky Charms cereal to the marshmallow mixture and fold gently until coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press evenly with buttered hands or a spatula.
  7. Let the treats sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until fully set.
  8. Lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for best results. Don't overheat the marshmallows. Butter your hands and tools to prevent sticking. Work quickly after adding cereal to avoid setting.
