I love all things Key Lime-related, so when my friend Amanda made this Key Lime Pie Rice Krispi Treats Recipe for my blog, my mouth started watering! I could practically taste the Key Lime just looking at the photos...fortunately for me, my neighbor has a very large Key Lime tree that mostly hangs over MY fence - so I get all the Key Limes I want, whenever I want - for free!

Have you ever tried experimenting with making different flavors of rice krispie treat before? I've added things like chocolate chips or a touch of cocoa powder...but this just brings it all to a whole new level!

It really is just like a tiny, crunchy slice of Key Lime pie in the palm of your hand.

Instructions

1. For the crust:

5. Add your graham cracker crumbs and 1 tbs sugar to your bowl of melted butter and stir to combine.
6. Spray an 8 x 8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
7. Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the pan to form the pie crust.
8. For the Key Lime Krispies:
9. Melt 3 tbs butter in a large saucepan.
10. Add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted.
11. Remove from heat.
12. Add 3 tbs of the Lime Jell-o powder to your melted marshmallows and stir to combine.
13. Add 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until all the cereal is coated.
14. Turn that mixture onto your graham cracker crust and use a piece of wax paper to press the cereal mixture down firmly.
15. Once your treats have cooled completely, score the top so you have nine squares.
16. Top each square with a dollop of marshmallow creme, a fresh lime wedge and your reserved 1" x 1" graham cracker squares.
