– 5 1/2 cups Lucky Charms cereal – 1 (bag) mini marshmallows – 5 Tablespoons butter – 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To a bowl, measure out the cereal and set aside. Optionally, set aside some of the Lucky charms marshmallows for topping.
In a large microwave safe bowl, add the marshmallows and butter. Microwave for 1 minute. Stop to stir the mixture using a rubber scraper. Microwave another 30-45 seconds. Marshmallows and butter will be mostly melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.
To the melted marshmallow mixture, add in the cereal. Mix together well to coat the cereal with the marshmallow mixture. Mixture will be very sticky.
Press the cereal mixture into a 9 x 9 pan. Pro-Tip: Use non-stick spray on your hands to press the cereal into the pan. The spray will prevent any cereal from sticking to your hands!
Top the marshmallow treats with extra Lucky Charms marshmallows. These add great color and crunch!
