The Best Lucky Charms Puppy Chow (Easy Recipe!)

The Best Lucky Charms Puppy Chow Recipe!

There are several recipes for varieties of this Lucky Charms Puppy Chow, but of course I prefer to make it the easiest way! I like making my popular Puppy Chow and throwing in some of the marshmallows from Lucky Charms cereal. The colors of the marshmallows are so vibrant and fun! Some people throw in the cereal, too. It’s completely up to you!

My husband sorted all of the marshmallows out of the cereal for me, only for me to later find out you can buy just the marshmallows! Who knew?! It’s about time that’s an option!

If you are trying to put together a festive St. Patrick’s Day celebration, then I think you’ll like Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispie Treats, St. Patrick’s Day Cookie Cups, and Shamrock Shake Lasagna, too!
