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!
I did with Red Velvet cake mix. Yummy.
Hey, Ali! Just wanted to mention another recipe that you could use the leftover cake mix for: Pumpkin Crunch Cake.
Does it matter what kind of cake batter mix? Can I use chocolate cake mix? Mmm…chocolate cake batter rice krispie treats. *grin*
Thank you!! I just made these for a bake sale, and it’s a good think they’re for a bake sale otherwise they wouldn’t have made it out of the pot… I would have just grabbed a spoon and dug in. Yum!! They’re delicious… and I’ll be going shortly to make cookies with the rest of the mix. :)
I made this today and the flavor was great. I too added extra cake batter for flavor. My only problem is my sprinkles melted when I added them into the mix and it turned my Krispies grey… Not pretty but certainly yummy!
Mines also turned grey
