How to Make Crispy Strawberry Sensations

Melt 1/2 cup vegan margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Add 1 cup strawberry jam and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the melted margarine. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly into a syrup.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
Gently fold in 4 cups crispy rice cereal using a spatula until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Press firmly and evenly into the pan.
Let cool completely at room temperature (at least 30 minutes) before cutting into squares.
