These White Chocolate-Dipped Lucky Charms Treats are the perfect snack to make with help from kids for St. Patrick’s Day and it only takes four ingredients to make them!
It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day! My family doesn’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but I do like to make themed treats for holidays.
My mom always made holiday treats and my brother and I loved to help. It’s one tradition I have kept going with my own children.
St. Patrick’s Day is a good holiday to make everything green. Rainbows and gold coins are also on par with all things green for St. Patty’s Day. The possibilities are endless. Since Lucky Charms have a leprechaun mascot and the marshmallows have all of Lucky’s different charms that fit St. Patrick’s Day perfectly, I decided to make a twist on Rice Krispie treats that use Lucky Charms. I have wanted to make Lucky Charms treats since I found out about them. It’s literally the best of both worlds…marshmallow cereal treats using pretty much the best cereal ever.
Rice Krispie treats are quintessential childhood treats. They are so easy and fun to make. Kids of any age can assist in making them.
These treats are made even better by the addition of dipping them into white chocolate. You can absolutely skip this step and just make the treats without chocolate.
