Full of Charm: Lucky Charms Treats Recipe

To tell you what a Lucky Charms Treat is--which basically amounts to a Rice Krispie Treat, but with Lucky Charms--really doesn't do it justice.

Because while this technically tells you what they are, it really doesn't tell you about the strange beauty of seeing how the marshmallow colors run into each other, and the surprise of coming across an extra marshmallowy pocket of flavor while crunching through these super sweet treats (which I made for the Great American Bake Sale).

But perhaps you might get a hint of the magic that is the Lucky Charms Treat if I show you the pan used to make them, which was streaked with marshmallow rainbows after being emptied into the pan to cool:

...or maybe that just sealed your resolve to never, ever go down this road.

But if you'd like to see for yourself, here's the recipe (oh, and if you like messing with cereal treats, you might like this too).

Lucky Charms Treats

Hi there! These look FAB! I also have a recipe for using oreo cereal (which is hilarious that it's even a cereal). Reese's Puffs are my favorite cereal - straight up - wonder how they'd fare against marshmallows and butter?

I saw this post on Xanga, and I love it! I just started subcribing to you via email as of today, and I also made this tonight with Count Chocula. Thanks for the great idea. I also read your post about the treat wars.
