FAQs
Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions when making Lucky Charms cereal bars.
Did you know that you can actually just purchase the marshmallows found in Lucky Charms cereal??? I’ve seen them before at specialty candy shops but you can also find them on Amazon! A big old bag of those crunchy sugar-filled dehydrated marshmallows delivered right to your doorstep!
I’ve made a ton of rice krispie treats over the years. I found the best way to store them is in an airtight container or storage bag in the refrigerator. You can store them in the fridge for up to 5-7 days if they actually last that long in your house! The key is an airtight container so that they don’t get stale!
