Steps:
- Put a peice of parchment or wax paper into the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan.
- Add margarine to a medium saucepan on low, but make sure that the margarine isn't melting too fast.
- Use a microplane or zester to zest both lemons (or all 3 limes). Make sure to get all the zest off of the lemons.
- Catching the seeds in your hands, squeeze the juice of one lemon (or 1 1/2 limes) into the butter and zest.
- Add the 10 oz. bag of marshmallows and stir continuously. It will take a while for the marshmallows to melt but don't turn the heat up too high or the marshmallows will burn.
- Add in a few drops of yellow food coloring. Green food coloring is best for lime flavor.
- Once the marshmallows have completely melted, gently stir them into the cereal and make sure to get them evenly coated.
- Spread them out into the pan and when they have cooled, it's time to eat!

Steps:
- Grease an 8x8x2-inch pan with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sweetened condensed milk. Stir with a rubber spatula until butter and milk are uniformly combined and small bubbles are forming in the center of the mixture, about 2 minutes. (When you first begin stirring they will look separated.) Add the bag of marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt and stir again. Remove from heat.
- Stir rice cereal and remaining cup of marshmallows into the pot to combine. Transfer to the prepared pan and press down lightly with a sheet of plastic wrap; don't pack them down too hard or they will lose their inherently soft and gooey texture. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Let set up on the counter for at least 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemon or lime zest for the best flavor. Zest the citrus fruits finely to avoid any bitter pith.
- If you don't have any lemon or lime juice, you can use bottled juice. Just be sure to use 100% juice, not a juice cocktail.
- If you want a more intense citrus flavor, add a teaspoon or two of citrus extract to the melted butter.
- For a fun twist, try adding a tablespoon of poppy seeds or chopped nuts to the melted butter.
- Be sure to grease the pan before pouring in the melted mixture. This will help to prevent the treats from sticking.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to keep them from crumbling.
