These Lucky Charms Treats are a super easy and fun dessert recipe to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with the kids! They're made with Rice Krispies and the marshmallows from Lucky Charms and drizzled with white chocolate that's been dyed green. These snacks are such a fun option to bring to parties and get-togethers!
1 ½cupsof the marshmallows from Lucky Charms cereal
Cooking Spray
Sucker sticks
1cupof white chocolate chips
green food coloring
Canola oil
Instructions
Melt the butter over medium-low heat. While this melts, grease a 9 x 13 pan. Place a piece of wax paper across the pan and press it down so that it sticks to the pan with the sides are sticking out of the pan (this will make it easier to remove the treat in one piece later).
Spray a spoon with cooking spray. Add the marshmallows to the pot and stir them often until they're melted.
Combine the Lucky Charms Marshmallows and Rice Krispies and add to the pot. Remove it from the heat and stir everything until well combined.
Press down the mixture to cover the inside of the 9 x 13 pan and place a piece of wax paper across the top. Weigh it down with another pan for at least an hour to set.
Once it's set, remove the Rice Krispie treat from the pan. Use a cookie cutter to cut the treats into Shamrock shapes and place the sucker stick into the bottom of them, and then place them around the edges of a wax paper-lined pan. You can also take all the scraps and shape them in the cookie cutter to make additional shamrocks so that they don't go to waste (or eat them!).
Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in increments of 20 seconds, 20 seconds and then 10 seconds stirring in between and repeating until the chocolate is fully melted (this can also be done on the stove in a double boiler, but make sure to use low heat so the chocolate doesn't seize).
Once it's melted add some green food coloring. Note: I found that this caused my chocolate to thicken and if that happens to you stir in a little canola oil, 1 tsp. at a time, until it thins out enough to be easy to drizzle. If it's too thick, it won't drizzle well.
Drizzle chocolate over the treats on the diagonal and refrigerate for 20 minutes to let the chocolate set.
