Things you’ll need

A non-stick baking pan

Parchment paper

A large non-stick pot or saucepan

½ cup unsalted butter softened

1 ½ cups of mini marshmallows

3 cups of rice krispie cereal

½ cup of lucky charms (preferably the four-leaf clovers)

Instructions

Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set to the side. Open box of lucky charms and separate your preferred charms from the rest of the cereal. We used the four-leaf clover to stick with the St. Patrick’s Day theme.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add in 1 cup of the marshmallows. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until completely melted.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, rice cereal, the remaining ½ cup of marshmallows and half cup of lucky charms.

Pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Use a spatula and gently press the mixture into the pan. Allow to set for about 1 hour.

Cut and enjoy
