Ingredients
- 3 TBSP Butter
- 10oz Large Marshmallows
- 4 Cups Rice Krispies
- 2 Cups Lucky Charms (+ more for topping)
- 8-10 oz White Chocolate Melting Wafers
- Sprinkles of Choice
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Spray non-stick cooking spray on your spatula or spoon you will use for stirring the melting marshmallows and set aside.
- Measure out the Rise Krispies and Lucky Charms into one bowl. Set aside.
- In a large pot, add your butter and marshmallows. Over medium low heat, melt the butter and marshmallows, using your prepared spatula or spoon stir occasionally to prevent burning. One the marshmallows are about 90% melted completely, but there are still some semi-melted soft lumps of marshmallow, remove from the heat.
- Pour in the cereals and stir until completely covered in melted marshmallow.
- Dump into your prepared 9x9 pan and press evenly into the corners and pan. Once it's cool enough to touch, I spray my hand with non-stick cooking spray to press down.
- Put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to rest and cool. After 20 minutes, remove from the refrigerator and cut into 12 squares. You can make them larger or smaller, it's up to you.
- Melt your white chocolate melting wafers according to the package. If you are using white chocolate morsels instead, add about a cup to a bowl with ½ TBSP of butter and melt in the microwave for 45 seconds, stir, and if they need more time, put back into the microwave for 15 second intervals until melted, stirring between each.
- Lay out a piece of parchment paper or a drying rack.
- Dip ½ of each leprechaun treat. into the melted white chocolate and add sprinkles. Place on your parchment paper or drying rack to allow the chocolate to set. If you are using white chocolate morsels you may need to place them in refrigerator to set.
- Store in a container with a lid on the counter. If you used white chocolate morsels, depending on how warm the kitchen is, you may need to store in the refrigerator.
