These homemade Lucky Charms style marshmallows turn out PERFECT. They have that crispy texture we know and love and are made with better-for-you ingredients. I used them to make my lucky charm sourdough cookies but they’d be perfect for cereal too 🙂 OMG i have to make sourdough cereal next!!

soudough sugar cookies with lucky charms

Ingredients

170 g egg whites
340 g granulated sugar
1/8 TSP Cream of Tartar
1 TSP Vanilla extract
Food coloring I like this natural one!

Tools

Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
Piping bags and tips or sandwich bags

Notes

In a stand mixer, add the egg whites and whip on high speed for 30 seconds. As it is whipping, add the cream of tartar and continue to whip until medium peaks form. This took me about 2-3 minutes. You know you’ve achieved the right texture, When you turn your whisk upside down, the peaks should hold their shape.
Now on high speed, slowly add in the granulated sugar. Mix until you see a beautiful sheen. This process takes about 1 minute.
Then add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
Now separate your marshmallow fluff into individual bowls and add food coloring to achieve the right colors for lucky charms!
Then add the fluff to individual piping bags or small sandwich bags. If using a sandwich bag, cut the tip with a scissor.
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe the shapes of Lucky Charms marshmallows such as hearts, moons, stars, clovers, and horseshoes. I used this visual as inspiration to create the shapes!
Preheat oven to 200f.
Bake lucky charms for 2-3 hours until they are dry. It took me 2 hours in a convection oven at 200f.
Now, let them set on the counter until they completely dry (2-3 hours).
Store in airtight container! I can’t wait for you to try this one!!
