FAQs for Lucky Charms Rice Krispies Treats
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes! You can use about 40 regular-sized marshmallows in place of mini marshmallows. Just be sure to melt them slowly over low heat for the best texture.
What can I use instead of vanilla almond bark for the drizzle?
You can substitute white chocolate chips, candy melts, or even a simple powdered sugar glaze if you prefer.
Do I have to use both Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms, or can I use just one cereal?
You can use only Lucky Charms or only Rice Krispies, but the mix of both gives the best balance of crunch and flavor.
Can I make these treats ahead of time, and how should I store them?
Yes! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for the best texture.
Can I freeze these treats for longer storage?
Yes, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 1 month, then let them come to room temperature before serving.
Can I add mix-ins like white chocolate chips or sprinkles?
Absolutely! Fold in mix-ins while stirring the cereal into the melted marshmallows for extra fun flavors.
What’s the best way to cut these into neat squares without making a mess?
Use a sharp knife greased with butter or non-stick spray, and clean it between cuts for the cleanest edges.

Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 10-oz bag mini marshmallows
- 3 cubs Rice Krispies Cereal
- 3 cubs Lucky Charms Cereal
- 2/3 cup Lucky Charms Cereal Marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional, but adds great flavor
- 10 oz vanilla almond bark
- Gold edible glitter or gold sanding sugar
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or line it with foil for easy removal.
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Stir occasionally to prevent browning.
- Add the mini marshmallows to the pot, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Remove the pot from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms cereals. Stir quickly to evenly coat the cereal with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using a greased spatula (or buttered hands), gently press it down evenly. Don’t press too hard, or the treats will be too dense.
- For extra fun, sprinkle some extra Lucky Charms marshmallows on top while the mixture is still warm and lightly press them in.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for 30–60 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Melt the Almond Bark
- Microwave Method: Chop the almond bark into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Double Boiler Method: Fill a small saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a simmer. Place a heat-safe bowl over the saucepan (making sure it doesn’t touch the water). Add the chopped almond bark and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the melted almond bark over the cooled bars in a zigzag pattern.
- While the almond bark is still wet, sprinkle the bars with gold edible glitter or gold sanding sugar for a magical touch.
- Allow the almond bark to fully set before serving (about 15–20 minutes at room temperature).
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days (if they last that long!).
