Cuban-Inspired Marshmallow Confections

The Mojito Rice Krispie Treats is a Perfect Summer Dessert

The Mojito Rice Krispie Treats is a fun and festive twist on a classic kid-friendly dessert. Made for the summer season, it adds a unique punch of flavor to the otherwise crunchy and sweet confection. This exotic taste is achieved through the use of lime marshmallows--who knew those existed?--and a bit of mint extract. The result is a tangy citrisy deliciousness that will win over just about anyone.

A relatively simple recipe, the Mojito Rice Krispie Treats were conceived by stay-at-home mom blogger known as Mallow and Co. Her love of the amazing combination of sugar, butter and marshmallows inspired her to create such delicacies as the Mojito Rice Krispie Treats. Hilariously, she admits, "I don't know if these taste like the real thing but dang they're good."
