Tips Tricks and FAQs
- You will want to melt your marshmallows slowly on the stove like the recipe calls for. I know it is tempting to heat them in the microwave, but slow and steady creates a nice chewy marshmallow treat.
- It is important to make sure that the marshmallows are fully melted before adding the cereal to ensure all the cereal gets fully coated in the mixture.
- There is a thing called too many marshmallows. Be sure to stick to the recommended amount or you may not be in love with how your Lucky Charms Marshmallows treats turn out.
- You will need a total of 9 cups of marshmallow to create the right consistency of marshmallow to cereal.
- Be sure you use fresh ingredients. If you use marshmallows and cereal that have been sitting out for a bit these will taste stale.
Storage
You will want to store these in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
Can you freeze Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats?
Yes, you can freeze these delicious treats. Place them in a freezer-safe bag and store them for up to 1 month.
When you are ready to enjoy, remove the desired amount and warm them up in the microwave 10 seconds at a time until they are warm and chewy.
