Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 Tbsp butter, plus extra to butter the pan Use unsalted butter for the best flavor.
  • 1.5 bags mini marshmallows (15 oz bags) Use fresh marshmallows for the best melting.
  • 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal Use fresh cereal to avoid sogginess.
  • 1 bag white chocolate chips (12 oz) Choose quality white chocolate for better flavor.
  • 4 drops green food coloring Optional, for tinting the chocolate.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Butter the bottom of a 9×13 pan to prevent sticking and to give the edges a glossy finish.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl until fully liquid.
  3. Pour the mini marshmallows over the melted butter and toss quickly so each marshmallow gets a light coating.
  4. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until the marshmallows are melted and glossy.
  5. Pour 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal over the melted marshmallow mixture.
  6. Gently fold the cereal in with a spatula until all pieces and marshmallow charms are evenly coated.
  7. Transfer the coated cereal to the greased 9×13 pan and press it in evenly using buttered hands or a piece of parchment to avoid sticking.
  8. Chill in the fridge for at least one hour to set.
  9. Once chilled, remove from the pan and cut into squares of your preferred size.
  10. Melt the white chocolate chips until smooth, then stir in 4 drops of green food coloring to tint the chocolate.
  11. Dip the bottom of each cut treat into the green-tinted white chocolate and place onto wax paper to cool.
  12. Allow the chocolate to fully set before stacking or serving to keep the bottoms neat.

Notes

Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Refrigeration will extend shelf life to about 1 week but may soften the cereal slightly.
