Equipment

9 x 13 Baking Dish

Ingredients

8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
¼ teaspoon salt
10 ounce mini marshmallows
10 cups Lucky Charms cereal
½ cup Lucky Charms marshmallows optional for topping
rainbow sprinkles optional

Instructions

Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
To a large pot over low heat melt the butter and stir in the salt.
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, ¼ teaspoon salt
Once the butter has melted, add in the marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and mostly smooth - small lumps are ok.
10 ounce mini marshmallows
Remove the pot from the heat and gently fold in the cereal until evenly coated.
10 cups Lucky Charms cereal
Gently spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Don't pack it in or you'll end up with hard treats.
Optional: Immediately top with additional Lucky Charms marshmallows and sprinkles.
½ cup Lucky Charms marshmallows, rainbow sprinkles
Allow to cool completely at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before slicing into bars.

Notes

If using salted butter, you can skip the salt, but you do need some salt to balance the sweetness.
Recipe can be halved to an 8x8 square baking dish.
Leftovers should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They're best enjoyed the same day but will keep up to 2 days.
