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!
This sounds delicious,i remember my mom making the regular rice crispy’s and we loved them,i think i will have to make these for my granddaughters.
these would be really good if you rolled them into balls and dipped them in to chocolate and let them harden with sprinkles on them
Made these tonight for a youth group event at church tomorrow and LOVE “EM!!!!!! Didn’t really want to do the sprinkles so 1 batch I added chopped up Reese’s Pieces and the other batch I added 1/4 c PB to the marshmallows & cake mix and mini choco chips & crushed pretzels to the cereal. Delicious!! My new favorite Rice Krispie Treats :) THank you!!!
Ok.. just made these… mine are like extremely hard! Why? They aren’t like typical rice krispie treats… bummed
Could you not just use the FunFetti cake mix???
Remaining cake mix? You should never have any remaining. Just make more treats. lol
this also tastes delicious with a white chocolate base…. yummy :)
Has anyone tried chocolate cake mix.
Just made these and they are delicious! I don’t think I will ever make the original version again. Thanks for sharing!!!
Can’t wait to try.
