Lemonade Cereal Treats Recipes

FRUITY CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with enough foil so that there's a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with butter.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add half of the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and a small pinch of salt. Add the crispy rice cereal and stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape up the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help).
• Clean the pot out and repeat the process with the remaining butter, marshmallows, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, fruit flavored cereal flakes, dried fruit and a small pinch of salt. Spoon the mixture directly on top of the puffed rice cereal and pat down into an even layer. Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Cut into 25 small squares. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

LEMONADE CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang; coat with cooking spray. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over low heat. Stir in 10 ounces mini marshmallows until melted and smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon each grated lemon zest and lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Off the heat, stir in 6 cups crisp rice cereal, 12 crushed Lemonades and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. Press the mixture into the pan and let set. Cut into pieces.

STRAWBERRY CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Lightly coat two 12-cup muffin pans and a rubber spatula with cooking spray. Sprinkle a few crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the bottom of each muffin cup; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the honey, marshmallows, vanilla and salt; stir with the rubber spatula until completely melted. Add the cereal and the remaining crushed freeze-dried strawberries and stir until incorporated.
• Divide the mixture between the prepared muffin pans, firmly packing it in; let set, about 20 minutes. Gently pry out of the pans. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

CHICK CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted, then stir in the food coloring. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal. Using oiled hands, form the mixture into 1/2-cup mounds, pressing until smooth. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, press to flatten the bottoms and let cool.
• Using kitchen shears, cut the orange licorice into thirty-six 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the yellow licorice into twelve 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Put the frosting in a small resealable plastic bag and snip a corner. Attach the orange licorice to the cereal treats for beaks and feet and the yellow licorice to the tops for feathers, using the frosting to adhere. Attach the chocolate candies for eyes, using the remaining frosting.
