How to Make Lucky Charms Treats
Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!
- Melt the butter in a large pot.
- Stir in the vanilla and marshmallows and cook until melted.
- Add in the cereal and stir to combine.
- Pour into a prepared tin and press in the Lucky Charms marshmallows.
- Let cool before cutting into squares.
There’s no need to separate the marshmallows from the cereal! It’s so easy when you buy a bag of just the Lucky Charms marshmallows, genius! Plus they’re a fun anytime snack.
The mixture is super sticky, so use a spoon for the most part if you can. Before you press the mixture into the pan, rub your hands with a little oil, and this will stop them sticking to you.
These treats are best enjoyed within the first couple of days. After that time, they are still good to eat for up to 5 days, but the texture will start to harden. Store them in an airtight container to keep them soft for as long as possible.
Yes! These Lucky Charms treats freeze really well, so they are a great option to make ahead of time. You can freeze them in the dish, covered tightly with plastic wrap and foil, or you can freeze individually wrapped squares. They will keep well frozen for up to 6 weeks. Let the, sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before enjoying.

These look incredible, I’d love to try! Where can I buy the Lucky Charms marshmallows? Or do you separate them from the cereal?
Hi! I hope you love them! Sadly, we have to separate them from the cereal. I hope lucky charms will catch on that it would be genius to sell the separately!!
They do sell them like a huge bag of them. Try the baking isle. Walmart has had them next to the other marshmellows.
OH MY GOSH MY MIND IS BLOWN! Thank you for telling us!!!
