Lemon Supreme Rice Krispie Treats

Guinea Pig: Kimberley

THE CLAIM
Ah, Labor Day.  The Unofficial Last Day of Summer.  Before Guinea Pig Squad and the rest of the world delves into everything pumpkin and apple flavored, let's take one more look at summer flavors.  Check out this recipe from Sweet as a Cookie, infusing lemon into one of our favorite snacks: Rice Krispie Treats.  Click the link in the photo caption for recipe and photo source.

THE TEST
Though we may be exaggerating a little, there was nearly a brawl between Guinea Pig Sarah and Guinea Pig Kimberley over who would get to make these.  And who could blame them?  Light, krispy and lemony? Sign us ALL up!  

Guinea Pig Kimberley won this one. How do they taste?  Better than traditional krispie treats?  Kimberley said they were, "amazing," and says they were "equally as good, but different than the original, which nothing compares to."

While you would think rice krispie treats would be easy-peasy, this recipe had to go and make it complicated.  Directions like "juice of one lemon" and 1.5 bags of marshmallows aren't very precise.  Kimberley used 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, which she describes as "just the right amount of lemon."  


CONCLUSION
Lemon doesn't need a season.  A great treat for any day!
