Ingredients
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced, see notes
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 6 Tablespoons salted butter
- 16 ounce bag mini marshmallows, divided
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Start by making the lemon topping. Zest one lemon in a small bowl. Add 1 Tablespoon of granulated sugar and mix with a spoon until crumbly and combined. Set aside.
- Juice the same lemon in a small bowl. Add in powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in all but 1 cup of the mini marshmallows, reducing heat to low. Stir with a spatula until marshmallows are completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Add in lemon and vanilla extracts, stir until blended. Add cereal and remaining one cup of mini marshmallows, stirring gently until combined.
- Pour mixture in prepared baking dish, pressing gently with your fingertips until spread out. Immediately drizzle with the lemon glaze, then add the lemon sugar mixture.
- Allow krispie treats to set for about one hour. Cut and enjoy.
Notes
- For the whole lemon, zest the lemon using our guide on how to zest a lemon. You'll get about 1 teaspoon of zest. For the lemon juice, you'll get about 1 Tablespoon juice.
- Be sure to use fresh marshmallows and fresh cereal. Using stale ingredients will result in stale treats.
- Adding the lemon glaze while the krispie treats are warm allows the fresh citrus flavor to sink into the krispie treats. If you prefer a more "finished" look, you can wait to add the toppings. Slice into bars then top each one with glaze and sugar after they have cooled and set.
- Store lemon krispie treats in airtight container at room temperature for several days.
- You can also freeze krispie treats by sliding into a ziploc bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
