Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
