Funfetti White Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats
Every time I make Rice Krispie treats, no matter what the flavor is, I bump up the amount of butter and marshmallows. We all like ooey gooey treats and adding more marshmallows is the best way to do it. Although I love the pure flavors of the ingredients, I added a secret ingredient that is going to wow your family. Lemon zest will add a punch of flavor that will surprise everyone and give these a wonderful spring flavor. Once you melt the butter, your next step is to add in the marshmallows and lemon zest. Adding the lemon zest at this time will ensure that you get the flavor in each bite. When everything is melted you will remove the pan from the stove, add in the cereal and your favorite rainbow sprinkles. Pour the rice krispie treats into a lined pan and allow them to cool completely before cutting.
White Chocolate
I love dipping Rice Krispie Treats in white chocolate but even more delicious when there is lemon zest and rainbow sprinkles. If you are using regular white chocolate, add in shortening before melting to thin out the chocolate and make it smoother to dip. Although I prefer the flavor or white chocolate over almond bark, almond bark melts easy and is a good option as well! Once you dip half the Rice Krispie treat into the white chocolate you will place the treat onto a lined sheet pan. Garnish the white chocolate with rainbow sprinkles while the chocolate is wet so that they will stick. You will love the flavor that the white chocolate gives to these Funfetti White Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats and you are ready to begin your celebration!
