Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups lucky charms cereal, plus extra for topping, optional
- 6 cups mini marshmallows, about 10 oz or 1 (10 oz) bag marshmallows
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, optional but recommended
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, stir in off heat
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
- 1/2 cup extra lucky charms marshmallows, from the box for the top
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing for overhang, or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, pour 8 cups of Lucky Charms. Reserve 1/2 cup of marshmallows for topping if desired.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until completely smooth. Mix in the salt and vanilla extract, if using.
- Remove from heat and add the cereal, folding quickly until every piece is well coated. If using white chocolate chips, allow the mixture to cool for a minute before incorporating them.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and, using lightly greased hands or a spatula, gently press it into an even layer without compacting it too much.
- Sprinkle the reserved marshmallows on top and press them down lightly to help them adhere.
- Let the bars sit at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes, then lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into bars.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using flavored marshmallows.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
Feel free to customize with additional toppings like nuts or chocolate.
