Its a little known fact that I am obsessed with Lucky Charms cereal. Not the marshmallow bits, the actual cereal. I normally will sit there and pick out the marshmallows just to eat the cereal pieces. With St Patrick's Day coming up, I decided to make lucky charms marshmallow treats.

These lucky charms marshmallow treats are a great and easy treat. I made these with the help of my 4 year old son. These marshmallow treats end up being extra gooey with crunchy cereal and slightly browned buttery flavor. I added a white chocolate drizzle over the top.
