Lucky Charms Treats
A new day, a new St. Patrick’s Day Treat! I know I mentioned this on the St. Patrick’s Day Recipe & Craft Linkup, but a lot of the time we associate holidays with non traditional foods. For St. Patrick’s Day you can get away with pretty much anything as long as it has a lot of green, or maybe flavors of mint or lime.
I colored the marshmallows in these Lucky Charm Treats just to give them a hint of green, but that is optional. I found this recipe at The Sweets Life, and it turned out adorable and tasty.
One tip that I have done for years when making rice krispies treats is to use a 9×9 or 8×8 pan, instead of the traditional 9×13. I like big ol’ chunky rice krispies treats so the smaller pans work perfectly to achieve that.
To make them extra cute, reserve about 1/2 cup of the Luck Charms marshmallows to decorate the top with. Many thanks to The Sweets Life for this recipe. Enjoy!
