Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 cups mini marshmallows
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 2 tablespoons key lime zest
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (for smooth chocolate drizzle)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup crushed nuts
  • A few drops green food coloring

Instructions

  1. Melt the Butter & Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add Lime Flavor: Stir in the key lime juice and key lime zest into the melted marshmallow mixture, ensuring all flavors are well incorporated.
  3. Combine the Mixture: Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl. Fold the mixture gently until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Assemble: Spread the coated cereal mixture evenly into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture gently to compact it, being careful not to over-pack which could make the treats too dense.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the pressed cereal mixture.
  6. Melt White Chocolate Drizzle: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the coconut oil in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the graham cracker crumbs.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled treats for 30 minutes to allow them to set fully.
  8. Serve: Once chilled and set, slice into squares and enjoy your refreshing Lime Krispie Treats.

Notes

  • Optional add-ins like coconut flakes or crushed nuts can be mixed in with the cereal for extra texture and flavor.
  • If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to the marshmallow mixture for a fun, vibrant look.
  • Press the cereal mixture gently into the baking dish to keep the treats light and chewy, avoiding over-packing.
  • Use fresh key limes if available for the best lime flavor, but bottled juice works well too.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
