I love rice crispy treats. They are one of the best snacks in the world. Instead of making green rice crispy treats, I decided to do something a little more fun for St Patrick’s Day.
My daughter’s current favorite cereal is Lucky Charms. She loves the marshmallows. If she had her way, she would be able to eat a bowl of just the marshmallows for breakfast. I cant blame her. They are my favorite part of the cereal too.
I decided to make Lucky Charms Treats. I then decided to spread white chocolate on top of the treats. Since these are for St Patrick’s Day, I used food coloring to make the chocolate have a green tint. My daughter thought it would be awesome to use green sprinkles. This is totally optional.
These treats are amazingly good. They are a little different than rice crispy treats. If you love Lucky Charms, you will love these bars!

- Grease the pan with butter

- Once melted, add 2-3 drops of green food coloring.
