How to Make Lucky Charms Krispie Treats

How to Store Your Lucky Charms Treats
To keep your Lucky Charms Krispie Treats fresh and delicious, allow them to cool completely before storing. Transfer the treats to an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Storing them at room temperature is best since refrigeration can make the treats a bit too firm. However, if your kitchen is warm, you can place them in the fridge for a short period to prevent melting.
For long-lasting freshness, your homemade treats should last for up to 4 days when stored properly at room temperature.
