Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup salted butter Choose salted for a balance of flavor; unsalted with a pinch of salt is fine.
  • 8 cups miniature marshmallows Fresh, soft marshmallows melt better; do not use stale.
  • 10 cups Lucky Charms cereal Use the original cereal for best results; substitutions should maintain similar texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a 9x13 inch pan; set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat.
  3. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Lucky Charms cereal.
  5. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and press into an even layer.
  6. Allow to set at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For firmer treats, store in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze individual squares for up to 3 months.
