Craving something sweet? Try these Rice Krispies with Lucky Charms for a fun and delicious twist on a childhood favorite.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (1.5sticks) unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 cups (470g) mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups (180g) Lucky Charms cereal
- Flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the mini marshmallows and kosher salt until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the Lucky Charms cereal, stirring until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch pan lined with parchment paper or greased with nonstick spray. Lightly press it into an even layer using a rubber spatula or butter wrappers (avoid pressing too firmly for softer treats).
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Let the treats cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use fresh cereal – Seriously, don’t use an old box of Lucky Charms from the back of the pantry. Fresh cereal = the best texture for these lucky charms rice krispies treats.
- Melt butter slowly – Medium heat is best to get that golden, nutty brown butter without burning it.
- Don’t press too hard – Lightly press the cereal mixture into the prepared pan so they stay chewy instead of dense.
- Line your pan for easy removal – A piece of parchment paper or wax paper makes lifting them out so much easier!
- Let them cool completely – I know it’s hard to wait, but if you cut them too soon, they’ll fall apart.
