Summer is here and we are spending as much time outside as possible.  Lemonade Marshmallow Squares are perfect for grab and go.  Sweet and tangy, be sure to bring these to Fourth of July parties and warm evening barbeques.

Lemonade Marshmallow Squares

Makes 24 squares

Ingredients:

• 1 T freshly grated lemon zest

Line a 9×13 pan with foil.  Coat with nonstick cooking spray.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter and bag of regular marshmallows.  Go in 30 second increments, stirring until all is smooth and melted.  Add lemon extract and lemon zest.

Carefully mix in crispy rice cereal.  When coated, add lemon sandwich cookies.  Sprinkle miniature marshmallows.
