NO-BAKE LUCKY CHARMS™ CEREAL BAR CUTOUTS

Steps:

• Line 9-inch square pan with foil, letting foil hang 2 inches over sides of pan. Spray foil with cooking spray. In large microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High about 45 seconds or until almost melted. Add 4 cups marshmallows; stir to coat. Microwave uncovered on High 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until marshmallows are melted.
• Add cereal to marshmallow mixture; stir to combine. With sprayed back of spoon, press mixture firmly and evenly in pan. Sprinkle candy sprinkles on top. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Using foil to lift, remove from pan, and peel foil away. Cut cereal mixture into desired shapes with 3- or 4-inch cookie cutters (ideas for shapes include balloon, clover, heart, moon, rainbow and shooting star). Roll remaining scraps into 1 1/2-inch balls. Drizzle cookie icings over tops of shapes. Let stand until set, about 30 minutes. Store in single layer in covered container.
• Make sure to really compress the cereal bars in pan; that will make them easier to cut. Lining pan with foil makes it easier to do the cutouts.
• No cookie icing? Try colorful candy melts. In small microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts as directed on package. Place melted candy melts in small resealable freezer plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze melted candy melts to drizzle melted candy over shapes. Let stand about 30 minutes or until set.
• Try your favorite cookie cutter shape for cutting out bars.

LUCKY CEREAL BARS RECIPE

Steps:

• Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
• Measure out the Lucky Charms and place in a big bowl.
• Melt the butter in a large pot or saucepan over medium/low heat.
• Add the marshmallows and stir until all are melted.
• Gently fold in the cereal until it is completely coated with marshmallow.
• Using a rubber spatula or your fingers, press gently into the prepared pan. Spray your fingertips with non stick cooking spray and it will be easier to spread around.
• We like to reserve a few of the cereal marshmallows for the top of the bars.
• Let set up for about 30 minutes. Slice and serve.
