Lemon Tratta (Treats)
Lemony Cheerios Tratta’s With Lemon Marshmallows And Creamy Lemon Almonds
There is just something about Lemons and Summer that go so well together.
Perhaps it has something to do with the color Yellow? We tend to think of Yellow Sunshine, Warm Weather, Lemonade, Sugary Lemon Sweets and Treats? Slices of Lemon in our cool refreshing Iced Teas, Sherbet’s, Lemon Twist Cocktails, and even the wonderful Lemon Zest.
I created these Lemon Tratta’s with all of that in mind. Everything here is simple, yet Lemony Refreshing.
I hope that you will think so too!

Lemony Cheerios Tratta’s With Lemon Marshmallows And Creamy Lemon Almonds
Sometimes inspiration hits you when you least expect it. I was at a grocery store that I only shop at occasionally, I tend to walk down every single aisle even if I am only in there to find one or two items, I do this because sometimes I see products that jump out at me as being special. That is what happened here! I walked down the cereal aisle even though I didn’t need any cereal. That is when I saw the ‘Limited Edition Frosted Lemon Cheerios.’ I bought 3 boxes!
I immediately knew what I wanted to do with this. A Cheerios ‘Rice Krispy Treats’ except I wanted to make everything Lemon. 🙂
I then bought a few Lemons for this food project, and I ordered a few bags of Lemon Marshmallows from online.
Here is what I came up with:
Ingredients:
Frosted Lemon Cheerios Cereal
Butter
Lemon Marshmallows
Regular Marshmallows
Lemon Zest
Sprinkles
—————————————————————————
I advise you to use the recipe for Rice Krispy Treats in order to figure out how much you would like to make according to those directions. You can find that recipe online. I know that I used a little less of this, and a little more of that.
This Recipe Continues After Isabelle’s Oat Cheerios Tratta…

Isabelle’s Oat Cheerios Tratta’s
I had some extra Oat Cheerios and I wanted to make them for Isabelle.
I figured that they would at least be a little bit healthier than what I was making.
Ingredients:
Oat Cheerios Cereal
Butter
Marshmallows
Cooking Oil Spray
————————————————————————
Again, you should consult the Rice Krispy Treats recipe online to determine how much you would like to make.
Here are my ingredients:
In a Medium Sized Pot you want to melt your Butter on a Medium Heat.
Place the Marshmallows into the pot as well. Allow them to melt, stirring constantly.
When the Marshmallow’s have melted add them to your Cereal, mix together.
I sprayed a Non-Stick Butter Spray into a glass Pie Plate…
I Then Stirred It All Together And Placed Them Into The Glass Pie Plate To Set.
These Are For Isabelle…. 🙂

My Lemony Cheerios Tratta’s With Lemon Marshmallows And Creamy Lemon Almonds, Continues…..
——————————————————————————————–
Melting Some Butter Into The Same Pot As Isabelle’s Tratta’s…
Adding Some Lemon Marshmallows To The Melted Butter…
Also, Some Mini Marshmallows…
Melting Together, Stirring Together
In A Large Mixing Bowl Place Your Lemon Cheerios,
Continue Melting The Marshmallows,
When Melted, Pour On Top Of The Lemon Cheerios, Stirring Together.
If Necessary, You Can Use Some Cooking Oil Spray On Your Spatula So The Cereal Doesn’t Stick To It.
Place The Lemon Cheerios Mixture Into A Greased Dish And Flatten, Spreading Out To All The Corners Of The Dish
Add A Few Gold Or White Sprinkles Over Top
Now Zest A Lemon Or Two Overtop, The Zest Adds Great Taste
——————————————————————————
Now To Add A Few Creamy Lemon Almonds
—————————————————————————————-
Beautiful, And Tasty
—————————————————————————————-
More S’Mores
Lemons, True Lemon Packets, And Sugar
I Sliced Several Lemons Into Slices And Placed On A Rack On A Baking Tray Lined With Parchment Paper
Turn Your Oven On 300F
Place Your Sliced Lemons On The Rack, Sprinkle With Some Sugar And Some True Lemon
20 Minutes To Start, Then Increase To 30 Or More. Roast The Lemons To Your Specifications.
This Is After About 30 Minutes
————————————————————————————–
In The Meantime…
Melt Some Chocolate In A Bowl In The Microwave For About 30 Seconds…
Stir Together…
Dip The Lemon Slices Into The Melted Chocolate And Add A Creamy Lemon Almond, Allow To Set
Nice And Tasty Plain, Or In A S’Mores….

Godere!
