Lemonade Krispie Treats with Strawberries is a lovely twist on the Lemonade pie and Rice Krispies treat.
We are fortunate enough to live in a state where we get to truly experience the four different seasons, snowy, but not too cold winters (coming from this year, you may disagree though), long warm Summers but not too hot (we have seen triple digits here, but not very often). Nice Springs and beautiful Falls.

Maybe that is why I was drawn to this recipe and partially because it calls for a rice krispies too. – Come on! Who doesn’t love a good rice cereal treat?
