Tips for the Best Lucky Charms Treats

• Work Quickly: The marshmallow mixture will start to set as it cools, so mix and press the cereal into the pan as soon as possible.
• Use Fresh Marshmallows: Older marshmallows can dry out and make the treats less gooey.
• Add Mix-Ins: Stir in sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other fun additions before pressing into the pan.
• Store Properly: Keep the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Serving Ideas

• As a Snack: Perfect for after school, movie nights, or lunchboxes.
• For Parties: Cut into small squares and serve as a fun party treat.
• With a Glass of Milk: Pair with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate snack.
