Just when I thought I had tried every rice crispy treat recipe under the sun….this recipe shows up on StumbleUpon.
I may or may not have immediately run to the store to by a cake mix to make it.
And…had a little too much fun playing with those gorgeous, colorful sprinkles.
And…enjoyed every single, glorious, hint-of-cake-batter-flavored bite.
And…shared the rest with friends so that I didn’t eat too many bites.
And…now I share it with all of you.
And…you should make some.

Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats
You will love this bright and colorful cake batter rice crispy treats recipe! Great for special occasions!
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 1 (10 oz.) bag of mini-marshmallows
- 1/2 cup yellow cake mix (the dry cake mix, not prepared into a batter!)
- 5 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 (1.75 oz.) container of sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, then remove from heat. Whisk in the (dry) cake mix, then stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and briefly stir. (Don’t stir too much or the sprinkles will bleed out their color.) Press the mixture into a baking dish (any size will do) and top with remaining sprinkles. Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting. I find spraying a knife with nonstick spray helps to cut them cleanly.
- *Disclaimer: You consume dry cake mix at your own risk.*

Did you make this?Let me know how it turned out in the comments below!
These sound great! I have marshmallow fluff/creme, but no marshmallows. Do you know how I could use the fluff instead? Thanks!
Yay! I’m making these right this second. Thanks for such a fun recipe!!!!
Looks too yummy! (leaving for the tore now)
” . . . may or may not have immediately RUN to the store . . “
I actually just put the left overs in a ziplock labeled cake mix rice crispy’s for future batches! Also, I used the sugar free cake mix and it turned out yummy! Thanks for sharing the idea :)
these look super FUN!
For all of those having problems with the cookies, you need way more than 6oz of dry cake mix with 1/4 cup of oil! I used around 14oz and the cookies came out perfect still used the 1 egg as well. Rice crispy treaties were also perfect did use slightly less cereal though.
I made these and they wound up rock hard as well!! Any solutions to make them soften up?
Spied this on Pinterest – taking all of my self control to not drive to store and buy these ingredients! great pictures too!
So when i made the cookie mix for the left over batter it turned out really runny and i couldnt form it into balls.. any suggestions? Thank you!!
