Ingredients

Instructions

  • Spray a 9 inch square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Melt butter over medium low heat in medium stock pot.
  • Add marshmallows.
  • Stir continuously over medium low heat until melted.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add cereal.
  • Working quickly, mix with a rubber spatula that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Scrape into prepared pan.
  • Press down evenly.
  • Allow to cool completely.
  • Cut into squares.

Notes

  • If you're worried these marshmallow treats might stick, you can line the pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it! This way, they will just lift out of the pan.
  • Do NOT over cook your marshmallows! This is so important. If the marshmallows are over-cooked, they will result in a hard/unpleasant bar. We recommend that you take the marshmallows off the heat as soon as almost all of the marshmallows are melted. If you still see 2 or 3 marshmallows that aren't melted, that's okay! Go ahead and take it off the heat. Be sure to use the photos in the post above as a reference!
  • Be sure to WORK QUICKLY! This is something that is so important. Marshmallows are like any other candy. Once they start cooling, they become almost impossible to work with.
  • Don't skip greasing your spatula. This helps keep the marshmallow from sticking so much.
  • Be careful to not over-mix! I know it sounds a bit silly, but you really only need to mix until the cereal is combined with the melted marshmallows. If you keep mixing, you may risk breaking the cereal and/or allowing the marshmallows to cool too much.
  • Don't be afraid to add extra marshmallows on top! This is purely for presentation purposes, but lets be real...the best part of Lucky Charms is all the marshmallows! So, a few more definitely won't hurt.
