My sad update about that Key Lime Tree

Update....and a very sad update, unfortunately. I wrote this post a very long time ago - 9 years ago, to be exact.

AND THOSE NEIGHBORS SOLD THE HOUSE AND THE NEW PEOPLE CUT THE TREE DOWN. Now I have to buy key limes.

How to Make Key Lime Pie Rice Krispie Treats

Even if your new mean neighbors tear down the tree that you used to get free key limes from.

Ingredients you will need to make Key Lime Pie Rice Krispie Treats

• 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
• 1 stick salted butter
• 4 cups miniature marshmallows
• 3 ounce box of powdered Lime Jell-O
• 1 tbs granulated sugar
• 1 sleeve graham crackers (9 full sheets) **I used Honey Maid**
• 1 small jar of Marshmallow Creme **I used Kraft Jet-Puffed**
• 1 lime

For the crust:

In the microwave, melt 5 tbs salted butter in a medium sized bowl. This should take about fifty seconds.

With a sharp knife, cut nine 1" x 1" squares of graham crackers for your garnish.

Pulse the remaining graham crackers in food processor until they are fine crumbs.

Add your graham cracker crumbs and 1 tbs sugar to your bowl of melted butter and stir to combine.

Spray an 8 x 8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the pan to form the pie crust.

For the Key Lime Krispies

Melt 3 tbs butter in a large saucepan.

Add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted.
Remove from heat.

Add 3 tbs of the Lime Jell-o powder to your melted marshmallows and stir to combine.

Add 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until all the cereal is coated.

Turn that mixture onto your graham cracker crust and use a piece of wax paper to press the cereal mixture down firmly.

Once your treats have cooled completely, score the top so you have nine squares.

Top each square with a dollop of marshmallow creme, a fresh lime wedge and your reserved 1" x 1" graham cracker squares.
