Ingredients for Lucky Charm Treats
Cereal: Use Lucky Charms or even a store-brand cereal with marshmallow bits.
Marshmallows: Just like Rice Krispie Treats, marshmallows help hold these squares together. I prefer mini marshmallows because they’re easier to melt but large ones (or even flavored ‘mallows) will work.
Other: Butter and vanilla flavor these treats.
How to Make Lucky Charm Treats
It’s fun and easy to make this sweet dessert:
- Separate marshmallow charms from the cereal.
- Melt butter and mini marshmallows until smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla and cereal. Press into pan & cover with marshmallow charms.
- Press into the top & allow bars to cool completely before cutting.
Tips & Tricks
- Mini marshmallows will melt faster than large marshmallows.
- For thicker bars, press the mixture into a smaller pan.
- Keep Lucky Charms treats in a covered container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Wrap squares separately in plastic wrap and save them to pop into a backpack or briefcase for a midday snack!

Lucky Charms Treats
Lucky Charms Treats are the perfect no-bake after school or lunch box snack. These take just a few minutes to make and of course, the kids love ’em!
-
Butter a 9 x 13 pan and set aside.
-
In a large pot, melt butter and mini marshmallows over medium heat until smooth and creamy. Stir in vanilla and cereal (not the marshmallow charms).
-
Press warm cereal mixture into the pan. Sprinkle immediately with marshmallow charms and gently press to adhere.
-
Cool completely and cut into squares.
Note: For a thicker square, use a smaller pan. If the squares are thick, press 1/2 of the cereal into the pan & sprinkle with 1/2 of the marshmallow charms. Top with remaining cereal and marshmallows.
