Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the marshmallows and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring continuously for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture is thin, smooth, and the butter has completely incorporated into the melted marshmallows.
Once melted, immediately add in the Lucky Charms cereal and mix together until the cereal is covered with the marshmallow mix. Working quickly, add the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press down using a silicone spatula or your hands. If needed, add a bit of non-stick cooking spray or butter to the spatula or hands so the marshmallow treats don’t stick.
If desired, gently press extra lucky charms marshmallows to the top of the treats.
Let set for at least two hours at room temperature. Once set, slice and enjoy!

Work Quickly! The main reason these won’t turn out is that the marshmallow mixture gets too cool before the cereal has been mixed it and added to the pan.

You can also melt the butter and marshmallows in the microwave by heating for 1 minute, then heating and stirring in 15 second intervals until melted.

For fun variations, melted white chocolate on top of the set cereal bars, or mix in an extra cup of mini marshmallows or white chocolate chips with the cereal. Yum! And, for St. Patrick’s Day, add a few drops of green food coloring to the melted marshmallows. So fun!

These will last up to three days in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze the set treats for up to two months, but the texture might change a bit once frozen.
