Who doesn't love rice crispies?

I have always loved rice crispy treats, always. I think I get that from my Mom, who also loves them. When I read about this fun twist on a traditional treat I knew I had to try it. Our 4th of July pool party was my first excuse and opportunity to make these yummy things! I recommend adding more cake batter than the recipe calls for so the flavor is a little stronger. Either way, they were delicious!

Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats

Ingredients:
  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 (10 oz.) bag of mini-marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup yellow cake mix
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 (1.75 oz.) container of sprinkles

Directions:
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, adding in cake mix one spoonful at a time so its 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 (any size will do) and top with remaining sprinkles. Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting.
