Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (or Golden Grahams or broken graham crackers)
  • 2 cups pretzels
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 (11 oz) bag white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 4 tbsp lime zest (from about 2 limes)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (from about 1/2 a lime)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, pretzels, and mini marshmallows until evenly mixed. Set aside.
  2. Melt white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add lime zest to chocolate: Stir 2 tablespoons of lime zest into the melted white chocolate to infuse a fresh citrus flavor.
  4. Coat the mixture with chocolate: Pour the lime-infused white chocolate over the cereal, pretzel, and marshmallow mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with chocolate.
  5. Spread mixture on baking sheet: Transfer the coated mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread it out evenly into a single layer.
  6. Finish with lime juice and zest: Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the top, then sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
  7. Chill to set: Refrigerate the mixture for about 20 minutes or until the white chocolate has hardened completely.
  8. Serve: Break into pieces and enjoy your Key Lime Crack as a sweet, crunchy snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute Cinnamon Toast Crunch with Golden Grahams or broken graham crackers for a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • Use coconut oil for a subtle coconut flavor; vegetable oil works well if you prefer neutral taste.
  • Make sure to finely zest the limes before juicing to get maximum flavor in the white chocolate.
  • For a more intense lime flavor, you can add extra lime zest on top just before refrigerating.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to keep crisp.
