Description
Delicious lime-flavored marshmallow treats that are perfect for parties and can be made ahead of time. These sweet and tangy treats feature fresh lime juice and zest for a bright summer flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 10 oz marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- Green food coloring (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
- Add marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. They should form a ribbon when lifted with a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in lime juice, lime zest, and a few drops of green food coloring if desired.
- Add the cereal and gently fold until completely coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer to the prepared pan and gently press into an even layer. Do not press too firmly to avoid hard treats.
- Allow to cool completely at room temperature, about 2 hours, or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use fresh lime juice and zest rather than bottled juice.
- These treats can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container.
- For a more intense lime flavor, add an additional teaspoon of lime zest.
- The green food coloring is optional but makes the treats more visually appealing.
