St. Patrick's Day Rice Krispie Treats

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup butter
• 4 cups marshmallows
• 5 cups Rice Krispie cereal
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• green food coloring (optional)
• 3/4 cup of Lucky Charms marshmallows - Have the kids pick the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms cereal - It's a great job for little hands and will keep them busy for at least a few minutes!

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt butter over low heat until completely melted. Gradually add the 4 cups of marshmallows and stir often to avoid burning. When marshmallow/butter mixture is completely melted, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and green food coloring. Mix well. Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispie cereal. Once mixture is mostly combined, stir in the Lucky Charms marshmallows. Press into a greased 9x13 pan and cut into squares.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
