Lucky Charms Treats

Bless me Father for I have sinned. I have made a double-marshmallow monstrosity that would make any glutton squeal with joy.

You hear that? That's me squealing.
But it probably sounds more like a congested baritone-voiced leprechaun since I've got a wicked cold. Wicked enough to suck the technicolor right outta rainbows. But not enough to keep me from coating my limited sense of taste with Magically Delicious kiddie cereal.

Keep your soup canned, Campbell's. I've got a stereotypical, unrealistic Irish cartoon on my side!

This recipe is so easy and fast. It takes the same amount of time as the intervals in which my nose needs excavating-- which is to say, about 3 minutes.
Lucky Charms Treats    Makes: 16 treats
5 cups Lucky Charms cereal (or the much cheaper generic brand works beautifully, too)
2.5 cups mini marshmallows
3 T. butter

1.) Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until fully melted. Stir in the cereal and coat well.
2.) In a greased 8 x 8 pan, add the cereal. Press the mixture evenly into the pan with a greased spatula (or your hands). Cool in the refrigerator.

  4. I am super sick right now, too. I don't think I can last much longer without my tastebuds.

    These look fantastic. I would make them, but I won't be able to taste them. So I'll bookmark this instead.

  5. Good one. I love making cereal treats with cereals other than rice krispies. Have you tried the Reese's cereal in "treat" form yet? It's another good one :)
