Notes

*You can separate marshmallows from the cereal completely; or keep some marshmallows mixed in and add extra on top. 
Tips:
  • Be sure to line your pan with parchment before adding the mixture to make removal & cleanup easy.
  • When adding the Lucky Charms marshmallows on top, don't press down on the mixture too hard or you might crush the cereal. Press lightly just so that they stick as they cool.
  • 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 from sticking to you.
Storage: Store Lucky Charms rice krispie treats in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
