Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 5 cups Lucky Charms Cereal *Both Cereal and Marshmallows
- 2 cups Puffed Quinoa
- 1 bag Mini Marshmallows 10oz
Topping
- Additional Mini Marshmallows
- Additional Lucky Charms Marshmallows
Instructions
- Grease a 9x9 Sqaure Baking Pan.
- In a large bowl, measure and add Lucky Charms cereal and puffed quinoa. Mix to combine.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s completely melted. Add ¾ of your marshmallows to the butter, saving the rest for later. Stir the marshmallows into the butter until they’re well-coated and begin to melt. Lower the heat.
- Once the marshmallow is melted and fully combined with the butter, it should be fluffy and creamy in texture.
- Turn off the heat and adds your cereal/quinoa mixture to the pot. It will be sticky, but continue to stir well. Add a handful of extra mini marshmallows to the mixture and stir.
- Pour the entire cereal-marshmallow mixture into the greased pan and push down so that it fills the entire pan evenly.
- Top with the remaining mini marshmallows and sprinkle additional Lucky Charms Marshmallows on top.
- Allow the rice krispie treats to cool completely. Slice into squares. I cut mine into 9 larger squares, but you can opt to cut in to smaller pieces.
