If you wish to make some Lucky Charms from scratch, you must first invent the leprechaun.

I always thought it would be fun to own an industrial grade cereal extruder, but sadly I don’t have 200A service going to my home.

I stipulate the headline is correct.

But why would you want to :interrobang:

Just because a thing can be done does not mean it should be done.

Im guessing this video series is looking great in the marketing department’s pie charts, even though it isnt as practical as the mashed potato video.

If you want something that’s easier than this process, and tastes better than Lucky Charms, give the store brand knock-off a try. They’re usually called something like “Magic Stars” or “Hidden Treasures.” The oat pieces are far superior to the General Mills oat pieces; the squeaky bits are about the same. All this, of course, IMHO.

It’s easy peasy for me. I just tell my leprechaun to whip me up a bowlful of something magically delicious. Invariably, it’s always a bowl of Lucky Charms. Why can’t my leprechaun make something else? Surprise me leprechaun!

I concur. It’s what I used to buy for my boys. I just told them a wood fairy made them. They couldn’t tell the difference.

Not sure we have these in the UK. Probably, but never seen 'em. How much sugar per 100g? 99g? They look almost pure sugar like most cereal.

They are composed of 90% sugar and 10% Elder Gods
