Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats

Are you enjoying the 3, 2, 1 CAKE but wondering how you can use up some of that cake mix? Well, what do you know... I have a tasty solution! This recipe takes the classic rice krispie treat and kicks it up a notch with delicious cake batter flavor and festive sprinkles! Who knew that rice krispie treats could possibly get any better?!

Ingredients:





  • Photobucket


  • 3 TBSP butter

  • 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshamallows

  • 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal


  • 1/4 cup dry cake mix



  • Fun, seasonal sprinkles :)


Directions:



  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows.



  • Stir until they begin to melt, adding in (dry) cake mix one spoonful at a time so its combined.



  • Stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture.


  • Add some sprinkles so that they're combined throughout the mixture.


  • Press into a baking dish (any size depending on how thick you like your treats) and top with remaining sprinkles.



  • Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting and enjoy!

I made these on a Sunday with intentions of taking them in to the office, but my husband made such a dent in them that we decided to keep them at home to graze on. Delicious! The traditional rice krispie flavor with a subtle, sweet hint of fresh baked cake. It's a match made in easy recipe heaven.

I don’t blame your husband, I don’t think I could keep from eating too many of these either--they look great! I love the picture :)

That's a GREAT picture!

I really love this idea. I have marshmellows begging to be used AND I have rice krispies in the cupboard as well.
