Last year Caroline and I whipped up a batch of Lucky Charms Treats that were so good I wanted to re-share the recipe as we approach St. Patricks Day!

These take about 10 minutes to make, require only a few ingredients and are such a festive treat.

Lucky Charms Treats Tips

I recommend separating the marshmallows from the cereal for the topping. You could totally skip this step though and keep the marshmallows mixed in, but using them as a topping makes them more fun and festive in my opinion. You can also BUY extra cereal marshmallows for the topping too!
Want to take these a step further? Dip the bottom in white chocolate (just like the store-bought Lucky Charms bars!
Store bars in an airtight container with parchment paper layered between bars to prevent sticking.

They're magically delicious!

Grease an 8x8-inch (for extra thick bars) or 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Pick out about 1 cup of marshmallows from the cereal and set aside for topping the bars.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Slowly add in handfuls of marshmallows and stir until thoroughly melted. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour cereal into a large bowl, then top with melted marshmallow mixture. Gently mix until well combined.
Transfer to baking dish. Using a rubber spatula (lightly greased with non-stick spray), lightly and gently press into an even layer. Be sure to not press the treats into the dish too tightly or you will end up with hard treats. Sprinkle cereal marshmallows on top and gently press them in.
Let the treats stand at room temperature until set, about 1 -2 hours. Do not refrigerate (otherwise the treats will get hard). Once ready, cut into squares and serve.
