Who needs regular rice krispy treats when you can have these Lemon White Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats?
Don’t get me wrong, I love rice krispy treats. Grew up on them. We were a big family and because one pan could make a lot of treats we would make them all the time! It was mind blowing to me when I figured out that you could make them flavored. I tried with these and these!
What was even more mind blowing to me was when I found out that Aimee from Shugary Sweets makes her with pudding mix. At first I was like, do what? How can that be? Then I thought about it a while and I completely think it is genius! She has made a lot of treats like this so you should definitely check them out.
One flavor that has really been on my mind a lot lately is lemon. Seeing dozens and dozens of lemon recipes online probably had a lot to do with this but it is one flavor that we just love around here. So I had a box of the lemon pudding, cook and serve kind, around the house for months waiting for just the right time to use it. And then I decided. I’m going to do it, I am going to finally try the pudding mix in my rice krispy treats. These are the result. These are heavenly, if there is such a thing concerning food. I had to give most of them away because I have NO. SELF. CONTROL. I wanted to keep picking at them. The lemon flavor. The lemon flavor was so robust. It came out so well. I was worried that maybe the flavor would not come out strong enough to actually taste the lemon. But it sure did. Now go, go make these! You won’t be sorry! ENJOY!
