A quick and easy crispy snack combining buttery, caramel-coated Lucky Charms cereal with a light, crunchy texture perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (180 g) Lucky Charms cereal
  • 1/4 cup (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Measure out 6 cups (180 g) of Lucky Charms cereal and place them carefully in a large mixing bowl, keeping marshmallows intact.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (56 g) unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir in 1/4 cup (50 g) packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until sugar dissolves and syrup is smooth and glossy.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will bubble and foam.
  5. Pour the syrup over the cereal and gently fold to coat, being careful not to break the marshmallows. Spread the coated cereal in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even crisping and prevent clumps.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Break into clusters or leave loose for snacking.

Notes

Use a low oven temperature (250°F) to gently crisp the mix without burning. Stir every 15 minutes during baking to prevent clumping. Let cool completely before breaking into clusters to avoid sogginess. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and honey with maple syrup. Use gluten-free Lucky Charms for gluten-free version. Be gentle when folding syrup into cereal to keep marshmallows intact.
