The Best lucky charms krispie treats recipe

I love making Lucky Charms Krispie Treats because they bring back so many happy memories from my childhood. My kids absolutely go crazy for them, and honestly, they are so simple to put together. This recipe is perfect for birthday parties, after school snacks, or even just a fun weekend treat. While they are not exactly a health food, using marshmallows and cereal does provide a quick source of energy, and the added marshmallow bits give a little bit of calcium. It is a treat that always puts a smile on everyones face.

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Do not refrigerate as they will get hard.
