Lucky Charm Treats

It's St. Patrick's Day!  Since we are stuck home today, thanks to the sudden snow storm passing over most of the Eastern U.S.; I thought I'd make a little holiday cheer for Owen.  Shamrocks, rainbows and green make up this day. Since we happen to have plenty of Lucky Charms cereal on hand; I thought what better way to celebrate than with some fun little cereal bars.  I made these just like I would traditional rice krispie treats but subbed out the cereal.  These would be a huge hit for a school function or a fun dessert.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
6 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Lucky Charms cereal

In a large pot, melt down the butter.  Add in the marshmallows, stirring constantly until they fully melted and bubbly. Remove from the heat and stir in 6 cups of cereal.  Spread into a prepared 13x9 pan and press down till the bars have flattened.  Set aside to cool.  Cut into bars or punch out fun designs with cookie cutters.  Enjoy!
