Description

These Key Lime Pie Rice Krispie Treats offer a delightful twist on the classic cereal snack, combining the tangy zest and juice of lime with gooey marshmallows and crispy Rice Krispies. Perfectly sweetened and with an optional white chocolate drizzle, these no-bake bars are an easy, refreshing treat that mimics the flavors of a beloved Key Lime Pie.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 package mini marshmallows (about 10 oz)
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 tsp lime zest
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter along with the mini marshmallows, stirring constantly to ensure the mixture is smooth and completely melted without burning.
  2. Add Lime Flavor: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice and lime zest, mixing thoroughly to infuse the marshmallow base with bright Key Lime flavors.
  3. Mix in Cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the lime-melted marshmallow mixture, stirring carefully to evenly coat all the cereal pieces with the sticky mixture.
  4. Press into Pan: Transfer the sticky mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, pressing it firmly and evenly using a spatula or your hands to form a compact layer for cutting later.
  5. Cool Completely: Allow the pressed mixture to cool at room temperature until fully set and firm, typically about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Optional White Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, melt the white chocolate chips until smooth and drizzle over the cooled bars for an extra sweet touch before cutting.
  7. Slice and Serve: Cut into 16 bars and enjoy your tangy, chewy Key Lime Pie Rice Krispie Treats!

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice and zest to get the best authentic flavor.
  • For easier mixing and pressing, grease your hands with butter or cooking spray.
  • The white chocolate drizzle adds sweetness but is optional if you prefer a more tart treat.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These treats are not baked; gentle melting on stovetop is the primary preparation technique.
