It's a new twist on an old favorite and it's very kid & family friendly. And let's get real, who doesn't love Rice Krispie Treats? If you love lemon, like I love lemon, these will be a big springtime hit in your house...
And since there is nothing worse than flat Rice Krispie Treats, I place these in an 8x8 pan so that they are really thick, like the ones you get in gourmet cookie shops. If you don't have an 8x8 pan, it works equally well to put them in a loaf pan, when you lift them out to cut them, you make them into really big, fat squares of lemony lusciousness.
5 Tbsp. butter
the zest of 1 lemon
the juice of 1 lemon
1 and 1/2 bags of marshmallows (10 oz. bags) - if you want them extra creamy and gooey, just use two bag of marshmallows, I do that a lot with original Rice Krispie Treats...
2/3 cup Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme cake mix
6 cups Rice Krispies
1. Prepare a 8-inch pan with cooking spray, then put in a parchment paper saddle so you can lift out easily and spray again with cooking spray.
2. In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat with the lemon zest and juice. Add in marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Slowly stir in the dry cake mix.
3. Once combined remove from heat and stir in the cereal. Scoop into prepared pan. Very lightly spray your hands with cooking spray and smooth the top of the treats and fill in along the edges to get an even layer. Let cool for about an hour.
4. Lift the squares onto a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into shares.
But I do have a trick for cutting any kind of bars, it's a pizza cutter, the kind they use in a pizzeria. I bought one because we make a lot of homemade pizza and it makes cutting easier, then I realized how well it works for anything that needs to be cut into bars or squares.
