This is a quick overview of the ingredients you’ll need for this Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats Recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.
- Mini Marshmallows
- Butter
- Lucky Charms Cereal
- White Chocolate – Use High Quality White Chocolate Chips, or a White Chocolate Bar chopped into pieces
How to make Lucky Charm Rice Krispies Recipe?
- Melt the butter and marshmallows. Add the butter to a large sauce pan and melt over medium low heat. Once melted add in the marshmallows and stir together until the mini marshmallows are totally melted.
- Add in the cereal. Pour in the Lucky Charms cereal and stir until fully coated in the marshmallow mixture.
- Press into the pan. Pour the marshmallow mixture into a greased 9×13 pan (or a smaller pan for a thicker bar) and press the bars carefully and evenly into the pan. Let the bars cool for 1-2 hours, then slice into pieces.
- Dip into white chocolate. Add the white chocolate to a small bowl and microwave for about 1 minute, stir as much as you can. Microwave in additional 30 second increments as needed. Dip the bottom of each piece into the melted chocolate, then set on parchment until set.
Tips and Tricks:
- Cook over low heat. 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.
- Don’t press the treats too hard into the pan. 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!
- Dip into melted white chocolate. Melt white chocolate chips, or a chopped white chocolate bar in a microwave safe bowl until creamy. Dip the sliced bars into the creamy chocolate, if desired.
Storage Instructions:
Cover the baking pan with a lid, or wrapped tightly with foil – or transfer the bars to an airtight container and store them at room temperature for 3 to 4 days. If you are going to stack the bars, place layers of parchment paper between them.
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”
Kristen L Cook says
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.
Aimee says
That sounds so cute! So glad you liked them!
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
