Instructions
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

- Add 1 package of marshmallows and stir keeping on low heat until they are melted into the butter. Then add in the last 2 cups and let them melt partially.
- Add in the Lucky Charms cereal and stir until the cereal is fully coated.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan and spread out around evenly with large spatula sprayed with non-stick spray or you can use butter.

Notes
Recipe Notes
• Use fresh mini marshmallows for the softest, gooey texture. Older marshmallows don’t melt as smoothly.• Keep the heat low when melting the butter and marshmallows to prevent the mixture from becoming stiff.
• Don’t press the mixture too firmly into the pan or the bars will turn hard instead of staying soft and chewy.
• Add sprinkles right away so they stick to the warm marshmallow mixture.
• Let the treats cool completely before slicing for the cleanest squares.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days to keep them soft.
