These St. Patty’s Day Rice Krispie treats will be the perfect festive snack for the day! This recipe is a fun twist on the classic Rice Krispie treat that we all know and love! Enjoy!  

Ingredients:

  1. 3 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
  2. 3 cups Lucky Charms Cereal plus extra marshmallows to add on top
  3. 3 tbsp Butter
  4. 1 pkg Marshmallows 10 oz
  5. Green Gel Food Coloring

Recipe:

  1. Spray a 9X13 pan with a non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Place the butter and marshmallow in a large saucepan and melt butter over low heat stirring frequently.
  3. Once the ingredients are melted and combined, remove from heat. Add in the green gel food coloring until the mixture is a vibrant green coloring.
  4. Gradually stir in the Rice Krispie Cereal and Lucky Charms Cereal.  Mix until the cereal is coated in the marshmallow and butter mixture.
  5. Press the mixture into the 9X13 pan or baking sheet.  The author sprays a piece of parchment paper with non-stick spray and uses that parchment paper to press the cereal down into the baking dish.
  6. Top the Rice Krispie treats with additional marshmallows from the Lucky Charms cereal.
  7. Let the Rice Krispie treats set for 60 minutes until set.  Then slice, serve and enjoy!

A few notes from the author:

  • They do not recommend refrigerating them, as they tend to get brittle.
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container and they should be good for up to five days!
