Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats are delicious gooey krispie treats made with lucky charm cereal instead! Dip them in white chocolate for a super fun sweet treat!
Lucky charms rice krispie treats are so good! You get crunchy lucky charm cereal covered in gooey marshmallows. Who doesn’t want extra marshmallows with the gooey marshmallows and the actual Lucky Charms marshmallows.
You guys know how much I love rice krispie treats from the traditional rice krispie treats, to ones made with cap’n crunch cereal, or covered in caramel and chocolate. So why wouldn’t I love rice krispie treats with lucky charms?!
To keep the treats from turning too hard quickly, you’ll first want to cook the marshmallows and butter on a low heat, and slowly so they come together just right. Second, when you are placing the coated cereal into the baking pan, don’t press it down too much into the pan otherwise you’ll have hard cereal bars! 🙁
But you want them nice and gooey, like this!
If you want to dip the treats into white chocolate, you can, and I totally like them dipped, but they’re good without the white chocolate too!
These cereal bars are such a good no bake treat! I made them in honor of St. Patrick’s Day because the rainbows, and clovers, and pots of gold 😉 but they’d be so fun for an after school snack, or any time of year!
And because they’re made of cereal they’re totally okay to eat for breakfast too, right 😉

Would the marshmallow in the lucky charm melt when you pour the butter and marshmallow mixture in? How do you handle it?
Aimee says
Mine didn’t melt, they do soften up a bit because of the moisture of the marshmallow, but it’s not too hot that they melt like the mini marshmallows in the “sauce”

These lucky treats are so easy to make. They’re so ooey and gooey. I made mine with the shamrock charms lucky charms. So them came out light green. Just in time for the holiday . I also put sprinkles on top to be even more festive.

Ronda smith says
Im going to make these. I love the lucky charms treat bars. How do you store these after making and how long are they good for
Aimee says
I usually just store them cut up in a ziplock or in a pyrex container. They’ll be best eaten within 3 days or so, otherwise they’ll start to get too hard to eat
