Crunchy, gooey Lucky Charms treats — an easy no-bake snack you and the kids can whip up any time. Double the marshmallows means extra pockets of gooey goodness!
Ingredients
These no-bake bars are simple and fun because they require only a handful of ingredients.
Butter – Unsalted butter is recommended to keep the sweetness balanced.
Marshmallows – Use most of the marshmallows for melting, and reserve some mini marshmallows to fold in for gooey pockets. You can use large marshmallows for melting if you prefer.
Lucky Charms – The star of the recipe. Use original or the chocolate variation for a twist.
Sprinkles – Optional, but they add bright color and extra fun.
How to make the treats
These Lucky Charms treats are quick and kid-friendly. Minimal adult supervision is needed for the melting step.
- Melt the butter with most of the marshmallows in a pot, stirring until smooth and combined.
- Stir in the Lucky Charms, any sprinkles, and the reserved mini marshmallows.
- Press the mixture into a lined 9 x 13-inch pan, spreading it evenly.
- Top with extra Lucky Charms marshmallows for a colorful finish.
- Let the pan set, then cut into squares and serve.
Success Tips
- Line the pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease it for easy removal.
- Lightly grease your hands or the bottom of a cup when pressing the mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.
- Press gently — pressing too hard compacts and breaks the cereal, making the bars dense instead of chewy.
Storage tips
Wait to cut the bars until you’re ready to serve whenever possible. Keeping the treat intact helps prevent drying out.
Store bars—cut or whole—in an airtight container for up to 4–5 days at room temperature.
To freeze, wrap bars individually and place them in an airtight container; they’ll keep for about a month.
