If you love homemade Rice Krispie treats\u2014and how could you not?\u2014it\u2019s time to take things to the next level and sub Lucky Charms for Rice Krispies. They\u2019re just as easy, possibly twice as delicious, and three times as pretty.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Valentine\u2019s Day, make your Lucky Charms treats festively pink by using Fruity Lucky Charms<\/strong>. The cereal tastes familiarly fruity, like a cross between Trix and Froot Loops\u2014with the same sweet marshmallows we all know and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make Lucky Charms Treats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need 3 simple ingredients: 1 stick of butter, a 16-ounce bag of mini marshmallows, and an 11-ounce box of whatever flavor of Lucky Charms you like (here I\u2019ve used pink Fruity Lucky Charms). Melt the butter in a large saucepan on your stovetop then stir in the marshmallows and cook until they\u2019re melted, too. Remove the pot from heat and mix in the cereal. Press the mixture evenly into a 13- by 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Let cool and then cut into squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To make pressing the sticky marshmallow mixture into the baking dish a little easier, you can either spritz your fingers with cooking spray OR spray one side of a piece of plastic wrap and use that to push the cereal into the dish (oiled-side-down facing the cereal bars).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try not to pack the cereal down too tightly when you press it into the baking dish because it will make for tough, hard bars.
