How to Make Lucky Charms Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treats

Prepare the Pan: Start by spraying a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Melt the Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of butter until it’s completely liquid, ensuring it’s not boiling.
Add Marshmallows: Pour the entire 10 oz bag of marshmallows into the melted butter, stirring until coated.
Heat in Microwave: Microwave the mixture for 45 seconds, then take it out to stir.
Repeat Heating: Return the bowl to the microwave, heating for another 45 seconds until the marshmallows are puffy and soft.
Stir Again: Once out of the microwave, stir until the marshmallows are melted and smooth.
Combine with Cereal: Gradually fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, mixing until fully coated in the marshmallow mixture.
Add Lucky Charms Marshmallows: Stir in 2 cups of Jet-Puffed Lucky Charms marshmallows until evenly distributed.
Spread and Press: Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan, using a spatula or greased hands to press it down evenly.
Top with Extra Marshmallows: For a fun finish, pressing more Lucky Charms marshmallows on top before they set adds a delightful pop of color.

Storing & Reheating

Store your Lucky Charms Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want longer storage, you can refrigerate them for a week in a well-sealed container. Alternatively, freeze your treats for up to 3 months—just be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or use a freezer-safe container. When ready to enjoy, allow them to thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes. The texture may change slightly, but you can refresh them by warming in the microwave for 10 seconds for that nostalgic gooeyness!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Ensure your butter is fully melted but not browned; this keeps the flavor clean and light.
Stir the marshmallows continuously after each heating cycle to keep them from burning.
Use a greased spatula or your damp hands to spread and press the mixture; this prevents it from sticking.
For an extra touch, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled treats or sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles.
Always store your Rice Krispie treats in an airtight container to keep them from becoming stale.
