Lucky Charms is the first cereal to include marshmallows as an ingredient. Since its introduction in 1964, it has become one of the top ten selling cereal brands in the United States. Due to its success, many brands of cereal now include marshmallows in their recipe. Here are several of the most popular brands of cereal with marshmallows.

Elf
Elf cereal is sweetened corn puffs (like Kix) with marshmallows. It is also flavored with maple syrup. The 2021 version of this cereal contained marshmallows shaped in food items that Buddy would enjoy like candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. We hope General Mills keeps bringing this cereal back each Christmas season because it is one of our favorite cereals with marshmallows.

Lucky Charms is undoubtedly the top cereal with marshmallows in the United States. It was introduced by General Mills in 1964. Lucky the Leprechaun mascot has been associated with this cereal since the beginning.
The original Lucky Charms had only four bite-sized marshmallow shapes: green clovers, orange stars, pink hearts, and yellow moons. The current lineup of marshmallows includes hearts, shooting stars, horseshoes, clovers, blue moons, unicorns, rainbows, and red balloons.
Today, Lucky Charms makes a few varieties of its cereal:

Marshmallow Mateys are made with frosted whole grain oat cereal with colorful marshmallows mixed in. This cereal is pirate-themed so the oats and marshmallows are shaped like things you’d see in the sea such as anchors, gems, and pirates. In addition to original Marshmallow Mateys, this cereal is also made with chocolate flavor cereal.
Monster Cereals
Monster cereals hit store shelves during the fall each year. The cereal was first produced in 1971 as Count Chocula and Franken Berry. The following year Boo Berry was released making it the first blueberry-flavor cereal to the market. Other variations include Frute Brute which was introduced in 1974 (now retired), Fruity Yummy Mummy (now retired), and Monster Mash to celebrate the cereal’s 50th anniversary (pictured above).

Peeps is described as being marshmallow flavored cereal with marshmallows. The picture above shows white marshmallows but our local Target sells them with colored chick and bunny marshmallows. This cereal is limited edition so it might be difficult to find outside of the spring/Easter.
S’mores
Find It: Where To Buy
Post S’mores features balls of chocolate, Honey Maid graham crackers, and sweet marshmallows. It has all the elements of real s’mores except without the gooey mess. This is likely the closest you will get to s’mores in a bowl since Honey Maid is the premier brand of graham crackers in the U.S. and commonly used around the campfire to make real s’mores.
Note that Malt-O-Meal makes a similar cereal under the same name.
Smorz
Find It: Where To Buy
Kellogg’s Smorz is a crunchy graham cereal that is surrounded by a chocolate coating. Of course, you can’t make real s’mores without marshmallows so naturally, Kellogg’s includes a healthy portion of marshmallows in each box.
Space Jam
Space Jam cereal is limited edition so it potentially may not be available when you go to buy it. Nevertheless, it’s a sweetened corn cereal in berry flavor with marshmallows shaped to look like basketballs.
Wendy’s Frosty Cereal

The fast food chain, Wendy’s, has teamed up with Kellogg’s to bring you Wendy’s Frosty Cereal. This is a limited edition cereal so buy it while you can. The cereal is made with chocolatey multi-grain balls with chocolate-flavored mini marshmallows.
