What Are Rice Krispie Treats?
Rice Krispie Treats are a childhood classic.
I remember growing up and always hoping to see that shiny blue package to be in my lunch.
These treats are made by melting butter and marshmallows that would typically coat the Rice Krispie cereal. The mixture is then transferred to a pan to set.
However, the difference in this recipe is that I used Lucky Charms cereal instead.
Theoretically, you could swap out almost any cereal to make these delicious and nostalgic treats!
How to Make Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats
- Grease an 8×8 square pan with nonstick or line it with parchment paper and set aside
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter

- Add the lucky charms cereal and fold into the marshmallow mixture until fully coated
