Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treats Recipe

Little hands can't resist these!

These cake batter Rice Krispy treats are all the rage in playgroups and preschools. I wanted to know what all the fuss was about so Isaac and I whipped up a batch this afternoon.

You would have thought I told him we were going to Disney World.
He couldn't stop smiling while looking at these.

I thought these were pretty darn good. If I was a kid I would so think these things were heaven. I can totally see what all the hype is about. They're fun to look at, fun to make and fun to eat!

Ingredients
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 (10 oz) bag  mini marshmallows
1/4-1/2 cup yellow cake mix (I used 1/2 cup)
5-6 Rice Krispy Cereal (I used 5 cups)
Sprinkles

*Melt the butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat to prevent scorching.

Watch me make these Birthday Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treats from start to finish!
This video is narrated by Isaac. He was like "Mommy I really get to talk to the divas?!?!" LOL He was beyond excited.

  2. p.s. you might want to add the sprinkles to the ingredients list as well in case someone glances at it before going to the store

  5. Hi Monique. I was doing a google search and I stumbled upon your blog. I love your recipes and I think you have a great personality as well. I noticed that you use a lot of butter-flavored Crisco shortening and was wondering if you realized how bad it is for you?

    I know that it is hard to give up certain foods, especially if they taste good, however, that particular brand is known for having hydrogenated oils in them. I use an organic shortening by the name of Spectrum and it is a good product. Although it doesn't come in the butter flavored variety, I still love it. I would also like to know if you ever make 30 minute healthy meals? I am looking for healthy dinner ideas so that I can lose some weight. I'd love to see what you come up with. Thank you for the good recipes and keep up the good work. By the way, how old is your son?

  7. I tried them today and I think they taste great - but they are really really really sticky. Is this the way they are supposed to be?
