Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treats! What?

I have been making Rice Krispy Treats since I was in elementary school and I have NEVER used a recipe. My mom just taught me how by eyeballing it and putting stuff in till it feels right. But when I came across this recipe it intriuged me. So I made it and brought it to my Sunday School class this morning. They loved it :) Of course I adjusted it slightly from the original. But it is a fun yummy recipe that kids especially will love.

they are colorful and festive



Ingredients:
  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 (10 oz.) bag of mini-marshmallows
  • 1/3 cup white or yellow dry cake mix
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 container of sprinkles





Method:
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir often  until melted.. Stir in vanilla. Add in dry cake mix slowly and stir until combined. Stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and mix. Press into a baking dish  ( top with remaining sprinkles, if desired). Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting. Enjoy :)

  1. woohoo! Great Job, Lauren, on the premiere recipe!
    SPrinkles are a totally fun addition. I just made a batch of rice krispies (using the same cereal you have pictured ;) the other night. I had random bags of Halloween and 4th of July marshmallows so they came out "chocolately" colored, no problem, i added chocolate chips. Will definitely try adding sprinkles next time- we ALWAYS have those around b/c life is just better with sprinkles on top.
