Ingredients Needed

  • Lucky Charms cereal — Also found in our Boozy Cereal Milk Punch
  • Chex cereal — From rice, corn, gluten-free and even honey nut, there are so many Chex varieties. We opted for wheat Chex to temper the sweetness of the Lucky Charms.
  • Butter
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Sprinkles — Optional

How to Make Lucky Charms Cereal Bars

1 — Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Grease the dish and a spatula with a cooking spray or butter. This prevents the cereal bars from sticking.

2 — In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter and marshmallows on high for 3 minutes, quickly stirring in between after 2 minutes. The butter and marshmallows should be completely melted and well combined. 

3 — Once the marshmallow mixture is smooth, add the Lucky Charms cereal to the bowl. Quickly fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until it is evenly coated.

4 — Allow the cereal bars to set at room temperature for about 10 minutes or until solidified before serving.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • When melting marshmallows, stir frequently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the bowl. Work quickly once the marshmallows are melted to maintain a smooth consistency.
  • Consider adding mix-ins such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts for additional texture and flavor.
  • Allow the cereal bars to set at room temperature for a sufficient amount of time before cutting. This ensures they hold their shape and are easy to cut into bars.
  • When cutting the bars, use a sharp knife. If the knife gets sticky, spray it with cooking spray for smoother cutting.
  • Store the cereal bars in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming stale.
