Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats

🧂 Ingredients

• ⅝ cup butter

  (1 stick + 2 tablespoons, 10 tablespoons total - plus an extra ½ tablespoon for 9x13 dish)
• 14 oz mini marshmallows

  (approximately 7 cups mini marshmallows - or 56 regular marshmallows)
• 1 pinch salt

  (up to ½ teaspoon if using unsalted butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  (I prefer clear for these treats)
• 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal

Instructions

• 1 To Microwave: Combine marshmallows, butter, and salt in a large microwave-safe
  bowl.
  
  On the Stovetop: Place the butter in a large saucepan or pot.
• 2 To Microwave: Heat the marshmallow mixture for 1 minute, stir, and continue
  heating in 30-second increments. Stir between each heating until the
  marshmallows are melted.
  
  On the Stovetop: Heat the pan over medium heat to melt the butter, then add salt
  and marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows have melted.
• 3 Add the vanilla and a handful of extra marshmallows (optional).
• 4 Add the Lucky Charms cereal and fold into the marshmallow mixture.
• 5 Transfer the mixed cereal treats into a buttered 9x13 baking pan or dish. Press
  down gently with fingers or a spatula (that has been buttered or wet down) to
  reach all corners. Do not pack down firmly. Set aside and allow to cool and set
  up completely before serving.
