Notes
Drea B. says
Thank you, will do!
ChocolaTess says
Drea, If you think they are too soft, just put them in the fridge for 10-15-ish mins, covered with saran wrap or tin foil to get them to firm up and then cut them. Sometimes if these kinds of treats stay out uncovered for too long they could become soggy depending on the moisture in the air they are cooling in from what I've read. Seal them after cutting. Thank you so much and I hope that helps!
Drea B. says
I just made them and they look delicious! I've had them out for 2.5 hours and they seem a little too soft to cut. Did I do something wrong?
ChocolaTess says
Just do the normal cereal recipe bars without extra marshallows:
4 cups of marshmallows
2 tablespoons butter
6 cups of Lucky Charms Cereal (could do a mixture of 3 cups rice krispies and 3 cups of lucky charms as well)
Pour cereal in a large bowl.
Melt butter and marshmallows over medium heat in a pan.
Once melted and smooth, pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal in the large bowl.
Fold in melted marshmallows and mix until fully coated.
Spread into your prepared pan. Cut when cooled.
Hope that helps! 🙂

ChocolaTess says

Anonymous says
There are no instructions for when to add the sprinkles...I am assuming after they are in the pan?
ChocolaTess says
Oh wow! That sounds good with chocolate chips 🙂
Mayme says
I have made these for years. The recipe was on the Lucky Charm box. Has a cup of chocolate chips in it.

Hi Cindy,
3 Conversions for Marshmallows:
8 Regular Marshmallows = 1 cup
10.5 oz bag Miniature = 5-1/2 cups
Marshmallows 10 oz 280 g = 40 large Marshmallows.
I would go with 60 marshmallows or 7 1/2 cups total. Happy Holidays!
Cindy says
All i could find was 2 bags of 400 g each regular marshmallow, not miniature so how many cups in total do i need??
