This month for the Leftover’s Club I swapped with Shaina from Take a Bite out of Boca! It’s a crazy coincidence since I had gotten her chocolate chip mandelbrat for the Great FB Cookie Swap! Now I’m seriously excited to see what she’s made for me! I love getting surprise goodies in the mail! Also if you’re a blogger and love getting surprises aas much as I do, be sure to sign up!
I decided to make some quick “elevated” rice krispies treats with the best flavor of summer…lemonade! I love lemonade I make my own at least once a week! I added lavender to the treats to gussy them up a bit and they were amazing! Tart, sweet, and super chewy! I ate like 10…and then reminded myself that I needed some to send to Shaina and to stop it. Hope she enjoys them!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 16 oz marshmallows
- 6 cups rice cereal
- 1 tsp culinary lavender, finely chopped
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Grease and sprinkle white chocolate chips on the bottom of pan. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a large sauce pan over low heat. Add marshmallows and mix. I like to spray vegetable oil onto my spoon before I start mixing to keep all the marshmallow from stick to it. Make sure to keep this on low heat!
- Once the marshmallows are melted, add lavender, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir well. Turn off the stove and add the rice cereal. Stir to combine.
- Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and use the bottom on a cup (greased) to flatten the rice krispies. Don’t press to hard or it’ll be hard as a rock. The chocolate on the bottom will melted from the rice krispies heat. Let this cool for 10 minutes and cut into squares. They will stay chewy for up to 4 days in an air tight container!
