Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats

July 27, 2016 By Phillip @ SouthernFATTY.com 5 Comments

Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats from SouthernFATTY.comYou’re always after me Lucky Charms Rice Krispies! — That’s right, folks. I’ve transformed one of our most viewed recipes, the Best Rice Krispies Treats, into a loaded version of the nostalgic favorite handheld sweet.

When life gives you a pound of cereal marshmallows, you have no choice but to toss them in with some marshmallows and call it a day.

When I found that you could buy an entire pound of those perfect little chewy cereal marshmallows (for less than $10, none the less), I passed out. Kidding… But I most certainly did have a small moment where I wasn’t sure what could possibly be better in life than this great news.

You know the ones. They have that super-bright shimmer, oddly dissolvable texture. Nothing like them. Forget coffee. Everyone knows that sugar-packed cereals were actually the best part of waking up.

Do y’all even know what a pound of these basically weightless things looks like? It takes a LOT of marshmallows to make up an entire pound. — What weights more? A pound of cereal marshmallows, or a pound of donuts? Forget the election drama. These are the important questions in life.

What else needs to be said, really? It’s rice krispies treats, packed with melted butter and marshmallows, tossed with handfuls of cereal marshmallows. This is basically breakfast gold. I’m 100% sure that it counts as breakfast, since it has not only one, but two, types of cereal in it. The marshmallow is basically dairy(ish).

It’s cereal in your hand. You’re welcome. There’s your breakfast.

You can find those delightful cereal marshmallows on Amazon riiiiight HERE.

    As an FYI, they have small, medium, and LARGE size boxes of the cereal marshmallows as well as chocolate cereal marshmallows at “It’s Sugar” in Opry Mills Mall.

    I’m making these for my daughter’s 1st birthday party next week – unicorn theme! Is this double the original rice krispie treat recipe? Also, I’m curious why you add the 12 cups then 3 cups of marshmallows separately?

    So obviously this is what you were doing with that big ass bag of marshmallows you snapped. I probably would have just poured them in a bowl and eaten them with milk, but this is good too. 🙂 Shared.
