Day 72: Lucky Charms Treats (success).

Pinterest pin and website link.

This is the first pin I've done where the item turned out as described, but no one -- not even my sugar-loving kids -- liked it!  However, since these came together exactly as stated on the blog (using the microwave, which was a bonus!), I'm counting them as a success.  For me personally, I think they were just a little too different from the Rice Krispie treats of my youth to really enjoy!  However, if you like Lucky Charms cereal, these are a fun addition to try for your St. Patrick's Day.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
5 cups marshmallows
6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
Instructions:
Melt butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds.  Once melted, add in marshmallows and then stir to coat with melted butter.  Microwave another minute and a half or so until marshmallows are melted.  Remove from microwave and immediately pour over cereal.  Mix well and then spread in a greased 8x8 baking dish.  Spray a spatula with cooking spray and press it over the top to get the cereal to stay put in the baking dish (this suggestion really worked!  I first tried it with wax paper, which was a disaster -- use the cooking spray / spatula combo and your bars should be nicely pressed!).  Let the bars cool in the baking dish for about 20 minutes prior to slicing.
Verdict: SUCCESS!
