Ingredients

Lemon Rice Krispie Treats

  • 8 tablespoons Butter (We use Sweet Cream Salted Butter)
  • 8 cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 8 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
  • 1 package Lemon Instant Pudding (3.4 oz)

Lemon Icing

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (Sweet Cream Salted, Melted)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Lemon Juice

Instructions

Lemon Rice Krispie Treats

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium-low heat.
  2. Add the Mini Marshmallows to the melted butter and stir the marshmallows so they are completely covered in the melted butter.
  3. On medium-low heat, stir the marshmallows continually until they are completely melted.
  4. When the marshmallows are melted, take the pan off the heat.
  5. Add the package of Instant Lemon Pudding to the Marshmallow mixture and stir until combined.
  6. Add the Rice Krispie Cereal to the marshmallow mixture and gently fold the Rice Krispie Cereal into the marshmallow mixture.
  7. Spoon the mixture into a 9x13" pan.  (We line the pan with a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to remove the treats from the pan when they are cooled.)
  8. Lightly press the mixture into the pan. 
  9. Let the Rice Krispie Treats cool in the pan.
  10. Drizzle the Lemon Icing on the pan of treats and allow the icing to harden.
  11. Remove the treats from the pan and then cut them into squares.

Lemon Icing

  1. Add the powdered sugar and melted butter to a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir with a spoon until mixed. It will still seem dry.
  3. Add lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir with a spoon.
  4. Continue to add the lemon juice until the icing is smooth and the right consistency for drizzling over the pan of Lemon Rice Krispie Treats.

Notes

Storing/Freezing Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats will last 2-3 days at room temperature in an air-tight container before they start to get stale.  You can extend that timeline a few days if you store them in the refrigerator and then take them out about 30 minutes before you eat them.  They freeze up great though and that is what we do if we want to make these ahead of time for a party or a family gathering.  They defrost very quickly and taste great once they are defrosted.  You can keep them in the freezer for up to a couple of months.
