White Chocolate Lucky Charms Treats


I made this yesterday with my kids and they were very easy and delicious. A nice twist on the rice crispy treat! And since I usually have a box of Lucky Charms or a big bag of Malt o Meal Marshmallow Mateys I can make these whenever we need a quick snack. I used white Almond Bark to dip them in and only used 7 ounces. I had a little left over chocolate so I dipped the tops of marshmallows in it and then put sprinkles on them. They were cute and my kids loved them. I didn't manage to get a picture though.
  • Ingredients:
  • 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • 4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 10 ounce bag of marshmallows + 1 cup (extra cup is strongly recommended)
  • 16 ounces melting white chocolate* (or almond bark or candy melts)
  1. Spray 9x13 baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the marshmallows until they are just about fully melted into the butter. Some chunks of marshmallow may remain. Add in the Lucky Charms cereal and stir until the cereal is fully coated.
  3. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan and gently spread out evenly. I sprayed the back of a large spatula with non-stick spray and gently pressed the mixture without packing it down. Allow to set for 2 hours at room temperature before cutting into rectangles or squares, whichever shape/size you prefer.
  4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. Melt the white chocolate according to package instructions. Hold the treat and dip the bottom into white chocolate, making sure to coat it generously. Place treats white chocolate side up on prepared baking sheet. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Store treats at room temperature for up to 1 week.
