I absolutely LOVE everything about Key Lime Pie, and I’m well known in my family for seeking out the best version wherever we travel. My favorite “regular” treat is definitely Rice Krispie Treats, so I decided to make a mashup of my two favorite desserts. This sweet and slightly tart recipe satisfied my craving for both treats!

If you haven’t tried experimenting with Rice Krispie treats before, this is a great way to start! It is truly hard to screw up these yummy rice krispie cakes! You can mix up the flavors for holiday specific or party themes, like I did with these Rice Krispie Dinosaur Eggs!

I started with the basic Rice Krispie Treats recipe right off the cereal box. It’s such a classic and fool proof recipe, I knew it would be easy to manipulate and still come out perfectly.

Traditional Rice Krispie Treats are made with Rice Krispies cereal, marshmallows, and butter. They’re so simple!

Tips for Homemade Key Lime Pie Rice Krispie Treats

The first tip is simple: make sure you don’t burn the marshmallows when you’re melting them on the stove. Turn your fire down and melt the butter and marshmallows slowly.

Get yourself a Microplane grater – I use mine all of the time and it’s the fastest way to get tiny pieces of lime zest!

When you’re placing the finished treat mixture into the pan to cool, make sure you spray your pan with baking spray AND ALSO spray a little on your spatula or fingers to press the treats into the pan!

Refrigerate the whole pan of treats for 20-30 minutes so they get a little hard. They will be much easier to cut!
