Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon (optional) Cooking spray or melted butter
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a teaspoon of melted butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to avoid browning.
Once the butter has melted completely, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously with a spatula until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
Quickly add the Lucky Charms cereal to the pot and gently mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. Be careful not to crush the cereal.
Pour the mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a spatula or your clean, greased hands to press the mixture down into an even layer. Do not press too hard to keep the treats light and fluffy.
Let the treats cool to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes, or until completely set.
Once cooled, cut into 12 equal squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
