In my area, it’s feeling more like summer than spring, but I’ll take it! I totally am not a summer person with the heat but I love spring.  Spring has me thinking of all kinds of yummy recipes to make like these Pink Lemonade Rice Krispie Treats.  

Pink Lemonade Rice Krispie Treats - main

 

Making these sweet pink lemonade rice krispie treats is  easy and would be perfect for a spring baby shower, luncheon, or a delicious snack for kids of all ages.  The pink lemonade in these comes from Adams Extract Lemon Extract and a pretty pink color gel.  Topping the sweet marshmallow treats with colorful spring sprinkles from Fresh April Sprinkles is the perfect finishing touch.

Confession time:  my wonderful husband loves the original rice krispie treats.  I mean with no color, no flavoring, or sprinkles.  So, when making these, I was curious if would even try one.  He loves lemonade, so I had hope.  I’m happy to say that he loved them! Said the lemon flavor gave them a delicious zing! How about that?!

I mentioned that these cereal bars were easy to make and it’s super true.  In fact, this is a perfect recipe to the kids in the kitchen to help with preparing them.  You’ll need a bag of mini marshmallows, crispy rice cereal, a little bit of butter, lemon extract, pink food coloring, and sprinkles.

Making the sweet rice krispie treats

From there, you simple melt the butter with about 7 cups of mini marshmallows (remaining 2 cups will be used later.)

Then mix in a few drops of pink food coloring (use the amount of drops to get the desired pink color you want – I used 5-6 drops).  Remove from heat and and mix in the cereal. Once the cereal is incorporated, add in the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows.

Spread into a very well buttered (non-stick spray is good, too) 13×9 inch pan and press down gently.  Add the sprinkles to the top, pressing lightly.  Allow rice krispie treats to cool completely before cutting.  If you just can’t wait that long, pop the pan into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 7 cups (16 oz bag) mini marshmallows, divided
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 tsp lemon extract
  • pink food coloring (or use a couple drops red)
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  • Butter a 13x9 inch baking pan, or use non-stick spray; set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, or Dutch oven pot, melt the butter and 7 cups of the mini marshmallows over medium heat, until melted - stirring the whole time, so that the mixture doesn't stick or burn.
  • Once the marshmallows are completely melted add in the lemon extract and a few drops of pink food coloring. Use only a few drops at a time to get the color you want.
  • Add the cereal and mix together. Once the cereal is incorporated, add the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows and combine.
  • Spread mixture into prepared pan and lightly pat down. Top with sprinkles and again, lightly press down. Allow mixture to cool completely before cutting into squares. You can also put the treats into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to cool quicker.
