A zesty twist on the classic Rice Krispy treats, infused with refreshing lemon flavors for a delightful snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for a vegan version)
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows (or sugar-free for a lower-sugar option)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or any puffed rice cereal for a gluten-free version)
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or bottled juice as a substitute)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: White chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare your pan by greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once melted, add in the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and add lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir gently to coat evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly, pressing down gently.
- Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
