Here’s a fun and colorful treat the kids will love—Funfetti Marshmallow Cereal Bars! Packed with Cheerios, Lucky Charms, and loads of marshmallow goodness, these bars are a blast to make and even more fun to eat. Perfect for snack time, lunchboxes, or just because!

I recently made some S’mores Overnight Oats and had some marshmallow fluff left over, so I knew I had to put it to good use. That’s how these Funfetti Marshmallow Cereal Bars came to be! They’re packed with crispy cereal and rainbow sprinkles, and they’re everything you want in a sweet treat—thick, soft, chewy, with just the right touch of vanilla. Perfect as a dessert or snack, and so fun to make!

I love making these for my boy—he gets so excited to help with the sprinkles! We usually mix in Cheerios + Lucky Charms for a fun twist on the classic 'Rice Krispie' treats. They come out so sweet, gooey, and tasty—perfect for sharing (or keeping all to ourselves. Haha). If you’re as into turning cereal into treats as we are, you’ve got to try my Loaded Lucky Charms Cornflakes Sugar Cookies or Chocolate Chip Cheesecake with Lucky Charms next!

Plus, if you’re a funfetti fan, you’ll definitely want to check out my Funfetti Milkshake, Oreo Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies, and my all-time favorite Funfetti Cake Ice Cream.

Ingredients

CEREAL BARS:

• 2 cups Cheerios cereal (You can use plain ones or honey nut flavor)
• 2 cups Lucky Charms cereal (You can sub with your favorite healthier marshmallow-infused cereal)
• 1 (7.5 oz) jar marshmallow fluff

Instructions

• Line a 9x9 baking pan with foil or parchment paper. NOTE: Be sure to coat the foil paper with a bit of spray if not using non-stick foil.

TO MAKE THE CEREAL BARS:

• In a bowl, add the cereals along with the marshmallow fluff, vanilla, salt, sprinkles, and pinch of cinnamon, stirring everything together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. NOTE: I found it easier to work with my hands by wearing gloves to ensure that everything gets stirred together well.
• Press the mixture into the prepped baking pan until even. Sprinkle remaining rainbow sprinkles atop bars and lightly press down. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or so.
• Cut into bars and serve for a not too sweet treat!
• Bon Appetit!

Tips & Tricks

STORAGE: Leftover cereal bars can be tightly sealed and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. Just know that the longer they stay in the fridge, the harder they get due to moisture being removed during chilling.
