Ingredients
4 and 1/2 tbs. butter
the zest of 1 lemon
the lemon juice of 1 lemon
1 and 1/2 bags of marshmallows (10oz. bags)
2/3 cup Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme cake mix (I believe Duncan Hines has the most flavor)
6 cups Rice Krispies
Directions
Prepare a 8x8 inch or 13x9 inch pan with shortening; set aside. In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat with the lemon zest and juice. Add in marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Slowly stir in the dry cake mix. Once combined remove from heat and stir in the cereal. Using greased spatula press mixture into greased pan. Cool on the countertop for approximately 30 minutes. Enjoy!

I couldn't wait to eat them, hehe.
I LOVE the added lemon in these treats! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ashley :)
DeleteMy boss found me some Lemon Meringue marshmallows by campfire.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna try rice crispy treats with them.
Yum that would be delicious!
DeleteI can't find any Duncan Hines cake mix in Australia, could you suggest an alternative? Thanks, Amy
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
DeleteAny brand will work. I just find Duncan Hines lemon to have the most flavor.
If you can't find any lemon cake mix try using a white cake mix with the zest of 3 lemons
and also the juice from those 3 lemons. Hope this helps!
Let me know how they turn out :)
I am all for feeling like it is the middle of summer!! Cake mix krispies are so much fun to play with. Love this lemon one you created!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :)
DeleteDo these Krispy Treats stay soft?
ReplyDeleteYes, if you put them in a sealed container or wrap them in plastic wrap they should stay soft. Mine are still very soft today and I made them Monday. :)
DeleteLemon is my favorite flavor and I cannot wait to try this recipe! It will surely be a hit this summer. Thanks for "fancy-ing" up Rice Krispie treats!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I hope you enjoy :)
DeleteAre the marshmallows Mimi or regular size? I want to make these next week. We lose Rice Krispies treats, and these sound like CROWD PLEASERS!
ReplyDeleteI used regular size. They're definitely crowd pleasers. I hope you enjoy! :)
DeleteOMG! 2 of my favorite things combined! Thanks for the recipe, cant wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteLet me know how they turn out :)
DeleteMy daughter made these for me to take to a party. They were a HIT! Everybody loved them. I was sad that I hardly had any left to take home, heeheehee. Definitely will be making these again. Thank you for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I'm so glad you liked them :)
DeleteWould it work without the lemon cake mix? I would like to make them gluten free.
ReplyDeleteIt won't have as much flavor but you can make them without the cake mix and use the zest of 4 lemons and the juice from 4 lemons. I hope you like them :)
DeleteOh, thanks for gluten free option! I was wondering how I could do that. Good thing I just bought a zester! My kids are home sick so I'm happy to induct them into the beautiful world of rice crispy treats!
ReplyDeleteJust made these for my sisters birthday, she loves all things lemon , instead of her usual lemon bars I make her I made her these, of course I had to have a sample. Can I say OMG!!! DELISH
ReplyDeleteIs it REALLY 4 1/2 pounds of butter?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try making these for the upcoming Memorial holiday weekend. They sound delicious. Recipe indicates 4 1/2 tbs (tablespoons) of butter; not pounds. :)
DeleteThere are gluten free cake mixes that might be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteThese look good. Found you via Our Family World. I am going to host a link up party on 8/1/11 for Easy Meal Planning. Would love for you to link up one of your recipes. My latest post mentions a little bit about the link up. http://essayswriters.org/
