what other cereals will work with this recipe?
Lucky charms is our cereal of choice for this recipe. The marshmallows add a little sweetness and crunch. Rice Krispies cereal is also a great option.
A lot of Cheerios will also work. We like the frosted Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, and regular cheerios. The marshmallows help to sweeten it up. The cereal options are endless.
It’s fun to make these cereal bars with Count Chocula cereal at Halloween. That’s one of our favorites. It’s delicious with the chocolate flavored cereal and marshmallows.

how do your store lucky cereal bars?
Lucky cereal bars are so easy to store. That is if you are lucky enough to have any leftovers. Just place them in an airtight container and they should be fine for 2 days. You could place them in the fridge.
If you want to freeze them, place them in an airtight container with wax paper in between the layers. This prevents them from sticking together. They freeze well for up to 6 weeks.
how to make lucky cereal bars
We love Lucky Charms cereal. When we were kids we would always pick out all of the yummy marshmallows and add them to our cereal bowl. It seems like they never added enough to the box.
Did you know you can buy Lucky Charms marshmallows on Amazon? They come in a big bag of just marshmallows! No more picking them out of the box.
Now you can load in extra marshmallows into your breakfast bowl, or even add more to these Lucky cereal bars. WIN! Or better yet, just eat them plain.
Just a few simple ingredients to make these Lucky Cereal Bars. 3 ingredients to be exact.
- Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Measure out the Lucky Charms cereal and place in a big bowl.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium/low heat.
- Add in the marshmallows and stir until all are melted.
- Gently fold in the cereal until they are completely coated with marshmallow.
- Using a rubber spatula or your fingers, press gently into the prepared pan. It works best to spray your fingertips with Pam and spread the mixture into the pan.
- We like to reserve a few of the marshmallows from the cereal to place on top of the finished bars.
- Let them set for about 30 minutes. Then slice and serve.
