Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 (10 oz) bag of mini marshmallows
• 1/4 cup yellow cake mix
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 (1.75 oz) container of sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray, set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir until they are mostly melted, remove from heat. Add dry cake mix to marshmallows a little at a time, until all is incorporated and marshmallows are completely melted. Add in Rice Krispies. Spray your spatula with cooking spray and stir mixture until cereal is completely coated. Stir in half of the sprinkles until they are evenly distributed. Press into your prepared baking pan and top with the rest of the sprinkles. Let set on the counter uncovered for approximately 30 minutes prior to cutting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

*Alternatively you can melt butter in microwave, then add marshmallows and melt those in the microwave as well in 30 second intervals.
