Ingredients

Scale

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

10 oz marshmallows

2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest

1 cup white chocolate

Instructions

1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. Melt the marshmallows in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.

3. Stir the fresh lemon zest into the melted marshmallows until evenly combined.

4. Fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow mixture until fully coated.

5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press into an even layer.

6. Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature.

7. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.

8. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled treats.

Notes

Use freshly grated lemon zest for the brightest citrus flavor.

Avoid pressing the mixture too firmly into the pan to keep the treats soft and chewy.

Allow the treats to cool completely before adding the white chocolate drizzle.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
