It’s that time again… The summer round of the Rice Krispies Challenge is here. While Team Asheville cooks up a playful and tasty treat to enter into this season’s challenge, Rice Krispies has something for YOU!
You may remember our Spring Easter Challenge hosted by The Motherhood. Amy , Julie, Robyn and I came up with delightful and delicious nesting chicks. The lemonade flavored Rice Krispies chicks snuggled down in little chocolate shortbread-krispie nests. They were scrumptious and SUPER cute, if I do say so myself.
Here is the Lemonade Rice Krispies Treat Recipe we created. It’s tart, creamy and extremely easy to make.
Recipe: Lemonade Rice Krispies® Treats
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies®
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest, not compressed (about 2 large lemons)
Instructions
- Melt the butter over low heat in a large saucepan. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Stir the white chocolate chips and lemon zest into marshmallow mixture. Add in Rice Krispies® cereal and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Spray a 13×9-inch pan and a spatula with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the Lemonade Rice Krispies® mixture into pan and spread with spatula. Press with wax paper and cool completely before cutting.
Preparation time: 10 minute(s)
Cooking time: 5 minute(s)
Number of servings (yield): 12

My husband LOVES Rice Krispeis® treats – I’ll have to see about these (he swears he is not a lemon fan, but I know those are just lies).
I am an email fan and will be a FB fan soon too. I am very excited to try this recipe.
I love rice krispies! I’ve make a cake called strawberry surprise cake and the secret ingredient is rice krispies! It makes the cake so light and airy. It’s like the perfect secret weapon against dry cake. The recipe is on my blog
I never had rice crispy treats with lemon zest before, but it look delicious can’t wait to try it!

Love the lemon twist for these treats.
I never thought to add citrus to rice crispy treats! I bet it would be awesome with orange too. Oh, the possibilities!
Lemonade Rice Krispie Treats huh? Intriguing! I am honestly not sure. May have to try this sometime just to see for myself. Would have definitely not have thought of this one on my own.
We love rice krispie treats- our fave tradition is adding a little red food coloring and making heart shaped ones to share at Valentines.
Love your bunnies on the grassy hill!

Think of all the Rice Krispies I can buy with $100
Those are cute chicks, lovely presentation for kids and adults.
Great timing–my nephew is in town and I was looking for something fun to make. My mom always made a Rice Krispie treat lamb at Easter. I’m not that good a sculptor so I like the idea of adding new flavors to make the bars more interesting.
Looks wonderful
Growing up, my mom made rice krispies treats. I loved them as a kid and still love rice krispies treats. Your recipe sounds wonderful.
i like to pack them in a funnel and wrap alumimum foil

I love rice krispie treats! I want to make rice krispies on a stick this summer for a fun treat!
This is a great twist. I just read that lemon is the third (or second depending on the survey) favorite flavor behind chocolate and vanilla. I’ve done some doozies w/ RCT but I’d never thought of this idea. I’m definitely trying these
When I make a birthday treat for the kiddos to take to school, they don’t want cupcakes, they don’t want brownies, they all go ga-ga for rice krispie treats. This is one treat that guarantees an empty plate coming home! Love the lemon twist!
The lemon Krispie treats sounds magnificent!
Yummmmmm, Yummmmm
Summer Krispies? I would make them tropical too by adding pineapple
