    lucky charms bars ingredients

    You just need three ingredients -- that's it! -- to make these great tasting treat bars.

    Lucky Charms - Grab a box of Lucky Charms cereal.

    Marshmallows - The recipe calls for mini marshmallows.

    Butter - Unsalted butter melted with the marshmallows helps bind the cereal together and makes it so delicious!

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    Full ingredients and detailed instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. But here's a quick visual step-by-step to help you make these no-bake bars!

    Start by either lightly greasing a pan with cooking spray or butter, or line it with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.

    3. As soon as the marshmallows are melted with the butter, add the Lucky Charms cereal. Stir to coat the cereal.

    4. Use your wooden spoon or silicone spatula to gently press the cereal mixture into the bottom and corners of the prepared pan or prepared baking dish. Press into an even layer. Optional: add extra Lucky Charms Marshmallow treats to the tops of the bars for added color and texture. Then allow to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, then cut into bars.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    What's the best way to store cereal bars?

    Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    Can I freeze Lucky Charm bars?

    Yes! You can slice then flash freeze the bars by placing them on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, wrap in plastic wrap and then store in freezer bags or a freezer-safe container. Bars can be frozen for up to three months.

    🍽 Serving ideas

    These adorable Lucky Charms Cereal Bars are perfect for St. Patrick's Day! They also make great lunch box snacks and snacks for after school snack time.

    If you're making a spring dessert table, serve these along with Strawberry Crinkle Cookies, Chocolate Chip M & M Cookies, and Funfetti Cookie Bars.

    🍳 Kitchen tools and equipment

    Ready to make this recipe? Here are the kitchen tools and equipment you'll need:

    Baking pan - Either a 9" x 13" baking dish or a 9" x 9" square pan works beautifully for this dessert recipe. The square pan yields 12-15 thick, bakery-style cereal treats. A 9" x 13" baking dish gives you smaller treats.

    Spatula - Use a heatproof silicone spatula or a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together. You will also need this to push down the mixture into an even layer in the pan.

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
    • 3 cups marshmallows
    • 4 cups Lucky Charms cereal

    Instructions

    • Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter, and set aside.
    • In a Dutch oven or large heavy bottom pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • When about half of the butter is melted, add the marshmallows and stir constantly with a heatproof silicone spatula.
    • As soon as the marshmallows have melted, pour in the cereal and immediately stir to combine until the cereal is completely coated in the butter marshmallow mixture.
    • Pour into the prepared baking dish. Use the silicone spatula to pat the cereal down into an even layer in the dish. Allow the bars to set and then cut into squares or rectangles.

    Notes

    Storage: Store Lucky Charms cereal bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. 
    Freezer instructions: Flash freeze bars by placing sliced bars on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Freeze for at least 30 minutes. Remove from the freezer and wrap bars individually with plastic wrap. Place in freezer bags or a freezer safe container with sheets of wax paper in between bars (this makes it easier to remove the bars after they are frozen in the container).
