Lucky Charms Rice Krispies!

You'll definitely want to steal these lucky charms! Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats, that is!

If you are looking for a quick and easy treat to make for St. Patrick's Day, look no further than these! Rice Krispie Treats are super easy to make and just by adding some Lucky Charms marshmallows into the mix and a little green food coloring, it transforms them into a tasty holiday treat ~ perfect for an office party, your kids school party, or just because!

Ingredients:

A 10oz bag of mini marshmallows
3 tbs butter
5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Green food coloring

Begin by combining the Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms marshmallows in a bowl.

Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over low heat.

After the butter is melted, add the bag of marshmallows and stir until completely melted.

Add the 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and stir.

Next, add your green food coloring. I used several more drops than shown here to make the treats even greener, but in the photos they don't look green at all! So, you may want to add A LOT of food coloring to darken them up. BUT, do it a few drops at a time and stir so you don't go too overboard! Also, I used gel food coloring, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Keep stirring and adding more food coloring until it reaches the color you want.

I thought this was a pretty green, and they do have a green tint in real life, but like I said earlier ~ I would make it darker next time.

Next, pour in your rice krispie mix and stir until fully incorporated.

They set up very quickly, so stir fast!

Look at all that sticky goodness! Make sure you take off your rings for this next part so you don't get any of the marshmallows on them!!

Put the krispies into a (sprayed or buttered) 13 x 9 pan and spread to the edges, flattening with your clean hands as you go. I also added some more of the Lucky Charms marshmallows on top at this point because they started to melt.

You're supposed to let them cool before you cut them, but I think they are AMAZING warm! Try it next time! You won't regret it!

They are most definitely magically delicious!

Enjoy!
