Every single year for the past decade, I've made these Lucky Charms treats for my kids' school events, and honestly, they never last long. The recipe couldn't be simpler with just three ingredients, which means you can whip up a batch in about ten minutes flat. Butter is packed with fat soluble vitamins that help your body absorb nutrients better, so you're getting a little nutritional boost with each bite. What I love most is how quick and budget friendly they are compared to store bought versions. Trust me, once you make these, you'll understand why they've become my go to recipe.
