Rice Krispie Treats get an update with lemon zest, dried blueberries, freeze dried strawberries and white chocolate
Fireworks. They are splendid, magnificent, wonderful.
& they also terrify little girls named Megan.
Every year, my family and I try to track down the best place to watch fireworks. One year, we parked in a parking lot close to where they were shooting the fireworks. They were so close, I really thought they were going to land on me and burn me (even though I know that is highly unlikely.)
The whole time I cried and cried. How embarrassing!
These rice krispie treats on the other hand are not scary at all.
They are perfect for summer with a refreshing lemon twist and strawberries and blueberries for a festive flair.
Hope you have a great Fourth of July!
