FAQs

Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions when making Lucky Charms cereal bars.

Purchasing Lucky Charms Marshmallows separately

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!

How to store marshmallow treats.

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!

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks when making Lucky Charms cereal bars.

  • White Chocolate Melts – I like to use the White Chocolate Melts that are colored and found at the craft store, Walmart, sometimes Target in the baking area, or even Amazon.
  • Storing – These treats are best stored in an air tight container for up to 3 days. You can store them in the refrigerator or on the counter in a cool location.
