Equipment
- 8x8 Baking Dish or 9x9
- Large Dutch Oven
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 10-12 ounces marshmallows
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving the sides high and set aside.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt butter, then add marshmallows and lower the heat.
- Stir constantly, to prevent sticking, until almost melted. Remove from heat and if desired, toss in a few extra mini marshmallows.
- Stir in Lucky Charms cereal, working quickly until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture pan and press carefully in an even layer.
- Allow them to cool in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes then cut the treats into as many individual pieces as desired.
Notes
- Melt Slowly: Melting marshmallows slowly prevents scorching and keeps them smooth.
- Work Quickly: Once the cereal is added, move fast to keep everything evenly coated.
- Press Gently: Lightly press the mixture into the pan to avoid dense, hard treats. Wax paper or greased hands help the cereal mixture from sticking to your hands.
- Cool Briefly: A short chill helps the treats set while keeping them soft and gooey.
