2 cups pancake mix, 1 1/3 cups water
Add the cereal to the bowl, stirring just until evenly incorporated.
1 - 1 1/2 cups Lucky Charms cereal
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a skillet set over medium low heat and melt. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot buttered skillet. Cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface.
2 tbsp butter
Using a nonstick spatula carefully, and quickly, flip the pancake over. Continue cooking for about 2 more minutes- just until the pancake's cooked through and the bottom's slightly golden brown. Transfer to a waiting plate.
Continue cooking until all the pancakes are cooked, adding the remaining butter to the skillet halfway through.
If using, melt the chocolate according to the package directions. Pour over the stack of pancakes, then top with sprinkles.
white chocolate melts, sprinkles
Serve warm & enjoy!

Notes

Don't overmix the pancake batter! It will not be completely smooth and that is totally fine!
Not sure if your skillet is hot enough? After the butter melts, add a drop or two of water to the skillet. If the water dances and sizzles, the skillet is hot enough.
Make sure to add the last pat of butter halfway through cooking!
