Lucky Charms Treats

I contemplated what to make for work for St. Patrick's Day all weekend.  Was thinking about brownies with green frosting, then green cookies, then green m&m cookies... then I got lazy I just wanted something easy and fast... and then I turned to these.  Of course, they aren't healthy by any means, but they are also going to work so I won't sit and eat the whole pan.  They actually taste less sweet than regular rice krispy bars. But they are still delicious and an easy treat to make!  Enjoy!



Lucky Charms Treats
Makes: 60 small bars

Ingredients:
10 cups Lucky Charms
50 large marshmallows
5 tablespoons butter

Directions:
Melt the butter over low heat in a large saucepan.  Add the marshmallows and melt over low as well, stirring often.  Remove from heat and toss in Lucky Charms.  Gently stir to cover the cereal with the melted marshmallow.  Pour into 2 sprayed 9x9 cake pans and spread evenly.  I like to butter the bottom of a glass and use that to spread over the pan.  I also used a sheet cake pan instead of 2 square pans.  :)
