These Crispy Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats with Marshmallow Drizzle combine the nostalgic crunch of Lucky Charms cereal with a gooey, glossy marshmallow drizzle for a fun and easy homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows (about 4 cups)
  • 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to lift the treats out once set.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter slowly to avoid scorching.
  3. Stir in 10 ounces of mini marshmallows continuously until fully melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Quickly add 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal and stir gently but thoroughly to coat every piece.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and gently press evenly with a buttered spatula or wax paper without pressing too hard.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff, 2 tablespoons milk, and a pinch of vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thick but pourable.
  8. Drizzle the marshmallow mixture over the pressed treats in a zigzag pattern using a spoon or piping bag.
  9. Let the treats sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour to firm up, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for quicker setting.
  10. Once set, cut into squares using a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.

Notes

Melt butter and marshmallows over low heat to prevent scorching. Use mini marshmallows for smooth texture. Avoid pressing the cereal mixture too hard to keep crispiness. Thin or thicken the drizzle with milk or powdered sugar as needed. Clean knife between cuts for neat squares. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute butter, milk, and marshmallow fluff accordingly.
