Green Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
• Green food coloring (a few drops)
• 4 cups Lucky Charms cereal
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 cup colored mini marshmallows (optional, for topping)
• Green sprinkles (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pan:

   • Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the treats after they set.

2. Melt the butter and marshmallows:

   • In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
   • Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pan and stir constantly until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.

3. Add the green food coloring:

   • Stir in a few drops of green food coloring to get your desired shade of green. Mix well to ensure the color is evenly distributed.

4. Combine with cereal:

   • Remove the pan from the heat and add the Lucky Charms cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir gently to coat all of the cereal evenly with the marshmallow mixture.

5. Optional vanilla extract:

   • If you’d like, stir in the vanilla extract for a little extra flavor.

6. Transfer to the pan:

   • Pour the mixture into the prepared 9×9-inch pan and press it down gently with a spatula to spread it out evenly. You can lightly grease the spatula or your hands to prevent sticking.

7. Add toppings (optional):

   • If you’re using colored mini marshmallows or green sprinkles, sprinkle them on top of the treats before they cool to add a fun and festive touch.

8. Let them set:

   • Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool and set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before cutting them into squares or bars.

9. Serve and enjoy:

   • Once they’ve cooled, cut them into squares and enjoy your Green Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats!
