Lemon Meringue Krispie Treats

Lemon Meringue Krispie Treats are made with Campfire Brand Lemon Meringue Mallow Bursts. The name literally says it all. These yummy marshmallows are bursting with lemon flavor. If you are a fan of lemon, you will love these. Sweet, Sticky, Lemony and Crunchy. What more can you ask for? How does a meringue topping sound? Lemon meringue krispie treats can’t be called ‘lemon meringue’ without a meringue, right?

No more than you can call a rice krispie treat a ‘rice krispie treat’ unless its’s make with rice krispie or rice cereal and marshmallows. Right? Grab a box of cereal and a bag of marshmallows and let’s get cooking. After all, in under 30 minutes you could be biting into one of these sweet, marshmallow rice krispie treats. A classic recipe that everyone loves.

Update

Since we posted this recipe in March of 2013, we have added another layer to these already delicious marshmallow krispie treats. Lemon Meringue Pie just isn’t Lemon Meringue Pie without the meringue part, right? It would just be a lemon pie. Well we decided the Lemon Meringue Krispie Treats can’t or shouldn’t be called “meringue” if there isn’t a meringue somewhere in the recipe. Soo we topped the krispie treats with a meringue!! Genius!!

    The next time I visit the market, I will be on the hunt for these unusual marshmallows. I have never heard of lemon meringue-flavored marshmallows, but what a fun twist on an tried-and-true sweet treat! I think the addition of the crushed cookies may be what takes it over the top. Very creative! (visiting from The Home Girl's blog party)

      Thanks Alycia~ I think the marshmallows are new for the spring season, but not positive on that 🙂 Walmart also had Key Lime flavored, Coconut flavored and a few other flavors:) Marshmallows have come a long way in the last few years!! Thanks for stopping~Lynn
