These proudly polychromatic sugar-filled squares will add a splash of color and character to picnics and back-to-school lunches. Instead of the traditional cereal staple, Trix cereal—famous for its “Trix are for Kids” motto— is used as the color-saturated substitute. The Cravings of a Lunatic Trix Krispies are created in a similar manner to crispy squares, minus the rice crispies. Simply combine [marshmallows, Trix Cereal and butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-charms-products) and place in the microwave for a few minutes. With this mixture all nice and gooey, it can then be placed in a pan to harden and later to be enjoyed.
