Ingredients & Variations
Lucky Charms Cereal – The charms add colorful and visual appeal, while the cereal provides just the right amount of crunch and neutral flavor to balance out the sweetness.
Marshmallows – Use mini marshmallows for best melting. Lucky Charms marshmallows will bump up the color and fun. If you can’t find them, substitute colored mini marshmallows.
Butter – Salted butter will add the ever-popular sweet-salty combo. You can also use margarine or another butter substitute.
Vanilla – Real vanilla extract is preferable to imitation, but use what you have or are accustomed to.
Variations – Try different toppings or cookie shapes such as a shamrock cookie on each bar. Add in mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, chopped walnuts, pecans, cashews, or macadamia nuts.

How to Make Lucky Charms Bars
This simple recipe is ready in a snap! Begin by prepping a 9×13-inch pan by lining it with foil, and buttering the bottom and sides.
On the Stove Top:
- In a large pot, melt butter and marshmallows, as directed in the recipe below.
- Remove pot from heat and stir in the vanilla.
In the Microwave:
- In a large bowl, melt the butter on high power, for about 45 seconds. (Cover the bowl to prevent spatters).
- Stir in the mini marshmallows, then microwave for another 45 seconds.
- Remove the bowl and stir. If the marshmallows are still not melted, microwave in 10-second increments, stirring in between.
To Complete:
- Stir in the Lucky Charms cereal and Lucky Charms marshmallows or other optional add-ins.
- Butter a spoon or spatula, and load the hot mixture into the pan, pressing into the sides to flatten. A silicone spatula, and/or a sheet of plastic wrap on top can also help this process.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Cut into bars and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks for Soft Squares
- Be sure to store leftovers in a sealed, airtight container at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
- Be careful not to overcook the marshmallows. They should be just melted and removed from the heat immediately.
- If freezing, be sure to squeeze out as much air from the zip bag as possible, and don’t store it for more than a couple of months.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter

- Line a 9×13 inch pan with foil and grease with butter or cooking spray.
To Melt Marshmallows – Stovetop Method:
- In a large pot on medium low, melt butter. Add miniature marshmallows and stir until marshmallows are completely melted.

To Melt Marshmallows – Microwave Method:
- In a large microwavable bowl, microwave butter on high for 45 seconds, or until melted. Add miniature marshmallows and stir.
