You know that happy little leprechaun? We’re not fans, mainly because he’s after our Lucky Charms. When we’re not making it into delectable Rice Krispie treats or transforming it into cupcakes, we’re straight up munching on it by the handful. Wait, did we just admit to that? Yes. Yes we did. Whether you are spooning yourself an extra bowl right now to celebrate Pride with a rainbow in the AM or using all the luck for your favorite World Cup team, these Lucky Charms recipes will be right up your alley. Or — should we say… rainbow?!

2. Lucky Charms Cupcakes: If there’s one way to make a cupcake even better, it’s to top it with your favorite cereal. These cupcakes are made by soaking Lucky Charms in milk before whipping them into the batter, making it totally acceptable to snaffle a few at breakfast time. (via The Novice Chef)
