St. Patrick's Day Treat - Lemon Glazed Krispie Treats

2/24/2015

Updated for 2021

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!

This weather is really getting me down. My husband has to work outside and he has suddenly started coughing and sneezing. I am scared he is getting a cold, the only way he could be more miserable having to work in this weather.

Time to make some Auntie's!

Auntie's is the homemade cough syrup that my Mom made for us when we were kids. I have no idea why she called it Auntie's, I wish I would have asked her when she was still with us, now I will never know.

However, what I do know is that it does a good job of soothing sore throats and coughs. It's also easy to make, check it out:

Last week I blogged about Tapioca and what it was used for. Since then, several people asked if I would share my recipe for tapioca pudding. Many folks said that they had made it using recipes they found on the internet and it was gluey and awful. I looked at some recipes online and they are different from mine. I'm not really sure why, other than my recipe is decades old.

So without further ado, here is my family recipe for tapioca pudding from scratch:

What is Tapioca Used For....Other Than Pudding?

Tapioca is made from the root of a plant called cassava, or yuca. In its natural form, it is poisonous, and must be treated to remove the toxins. After treatment, it is processed into several forms: powder, flakes, sticks or small round pearls. It is used for many purposes, the most popular being making tapioca pudding. (I love tapioca pudding!)

Tapioca is also commonly used as a thickening agent. Mostly in soups, fruit pie fillings, and sauces. It can be used to thicken almost anything because tapioca itself has very little taste of it's own. It also almost completely protein and gluten free. Gluten sensitive people often use tapioca flour in their baking.
