Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:



How to make Lucky Cereal Bars
- Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
- Measure out the Lucky Charms and place in a big bowl.
- Melt the butter in a large pot or saucepan over medium/low heat.
- Add the marshmallows and stir until all are melted.
- Gently fold in the cereal until it is completely coated with marshmallow.
- Using a rubber spatula or your fingers, press gently into the prepared pan. Spray your fingertips with non stick cooking spray and it will be easier to spread around.
- We like to reserve a few of the cereal marshmallows for the top of the bars.
- Let set up for about 30 minutes. Slice and serve.

Storage Suggestions
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.
What other cereals will work with this Lucky Cereal Bars 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.
