I have a recipe for a St. Paddy's Day treat that is really unusual. It involves rice krispie treats, but they are not dyed green, or cover in a paste of green colored icing. These krispie treats are made in the traditional way, but then they are covered in a delicious sour lemon glaze and then sprinkled with green sugar crystals. The mix of flavors is just delicious! I wanted to share this recipe with you because before you know it, St. Patrick's Day will be here and I know you will want to make these!
Make your krispie treats in the traditional manner. If you don't have the recipe, here's a link to the original site with the recipe: Original Rice Krispie Treat Recipe.
| Next we have the glaze recipe. It has more ingredients than most, but it is worth it! Sour Lemon Glaze Ingredients:
|  |
Directions:
- Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium pan
- In a separate bowl combine water, egg yolk, and lemon juice
- Pour this mixture slowly into the saucepan.
- With the heat on low, stir until mixture comes to a gentle boil
- When mixture has thickened, add butter and lemon zest and stir
- Allow to cool a little bit, but not enough to set
- With a pastry brush, brush the glaze over the top of the rice krispie treats in two to three layers. DO NOT POUR glaze on the krispies or you will have a soggy mess. The key to flavor and crispiness is to brush the glaze on top.
- Sprinkle with green sugar crystals, immediately, so they will stick to the glaze.
This glaze recipe is one that you will probably want to keep. It is delicious on cakes, cookies, even doughnuts. It is my favorite glaze when making a poppy seed Bundt cake.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
