Magical Rainbow Bars | Sprinkles For Breakfast

You know those people who buy a one-way ticket to a foreign country without any plan and just figure it out as they go? Yeah, I am not one of those people. I am more the full itinerary with planned tours, restaurant reservations, and a list of suggested places to shop kind of person. Basically, I am a low key control freak.

Okay…maybe not so low key.

Throughout life I have found there are a lot of advantages to having a control freak personality, but I have also found that dealing with change is not one of them. It’s actually kind of my worst nightmare. And as I am about to embark on a whole lot of change in the next few months, I am trying to remind myself that sometimes, change is good.

Without change we walk through this life doing the same things over and over again. We become stunted in our own comfort zone prisons, never giving ourselves any opportunity to grow. Without change, it becomes impossible for us to challenge ourselves or know what we are really capable of. And if you ask me, that’s kind of sad.

So I would argue that even though change can be terrifying, it can also be kind of necessary to living a happy life.

So, to celebrate change, I made these Magical Lucky Charm Bars. This year Lucky Charms introduced the Unicorn Marshmallow – the first new marshmallow in 10 years! And because we all know the marshmallows are the best part of the cereal, I think this is an amazing upgrade.

They are kind of like Rice Krispy Treats, except better because of the previously mentioned marshmallows. They are an easy to make, no bake treat, and they have a pretty epic rainbow topping. So if you are a Rice Krispy Treat purist, I urge you to switch it up and try something new!

We all need a little change in our lives – so why not start here?
