Ingredients
6Tablespoonsbutter
110-ounce bag white mini marshmallows
Green food coloring
6cupsLucky Charms cereal
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1cupcolored mini marshmallowsoptional for topping
Green sprinklesoptional for topping
Instructions
Lightly spray a 9x12 baking dish with cooking oil. Set aside.
In a large pot or sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low and add white marshmallows. Stir continuously until melted. Add green food coloring until you receive the desired color of green. (We probably added 20-40 drops.) Stir until marshmallows are completely green. Remove from heat.
Add vanilla and stir.
Gradually pour in Lucky Charms cereal, stirring and folding into the marshmallows as you add.
OPTIONAL: Add in 1/2 colored marshmallows. Stir lightly, but not until they're completely covered with green.
Pour into prepared baking dish. Use wax paper, parchment paper, or your fingers sprayed with cooking spray to lightly press the cereal bars into the baking dish.
OPTIONAL: Shake sprinkles over top of the treats. Gently press remaining colored marshmallows into top of treats. Allow to set before cutting. Depending on how large you cut these, they'll make 9-12 bars. We cut ours smaller and got about 12 Lucky Charm bars.
Notes
If you're in a hurry for these to set, place in freezer for 10 minutes and then cut.Some people also make these Lucky Charms marshmallow bars with rice krispie cereal. If you want to do this, just reduce the Lucky Charms cereals by 1 cup and replace it with rice krispies cereals.
