Scale
Ingredients
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using. This adds depth of flavor to the marshmallow mixture.
- Combine with Cereal: Gently fold in the Lucky Charms cereal until all pieces are fully coated with the marshmallow mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- Press into Pan: Quickly transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Use a spatula or wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan without compressing it too hard.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the treat to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes so it can set properly. After cooling, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For extra gooeyness, stir in an additional 1 cup of mini marshmallows with the cereal before pressing into the pan.
- Use a buttered spatula or lightly wet hands to press the mixture to prevent sticking.
