Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (about 120 grams)
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal (about 180 grams)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (about 90 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with wax or parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds or over low heat on the stove.
- Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir gently to coat.
- Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until marshmallows are melted and smooth (about 1 to 1.5 minutes).
- Quickly fold in 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal using a rubber spatula, ensuring all cereal is coated.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly and firmly using a buttered spatula or wax paper, avoiding over-compressing.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon vegetable or coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the pressed cereal treats and swirl gently with a toothpick or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Refrigerate the pan for at least 30 minutes to set the white chocolate and firm the treats.
- Lift the treats out using the parchment paper, cut into squares with a sharp knife, and serve.
Notes
Use mini marshmallows for smoother melting. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free marshmallows and white chocolate. Chill treats to set the white chocolate swirl and improve texture. Press mixture firmly but not too hard to avoid dense treats. Use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts to prevent sticking.
