These Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats are one of my oldest son’s favorite treats! He adores cake batter anything and these are no exception. He loves everything about them – how thick and chewy they are, their colorful sprinkles and frosting drizzle, and even making them, especially licking the pot clean. We’ve made them three times in the last two weeks. No joke. He just can’t get enough. In fact, he asked if he could have them for his Birthday Cake, still 3 months out, instead of traditional cake. I don’t see why not, these aren’t your normal krispie treats. They fill an entire 9×13 pan and are as close to a rice krispie treat cake as I’ve ever seen. And they even taste like cake batter! If we’re friends on Facebook (if we aren’t than we should be) than you may have seen my teaser picture last night. We had a lemonade stand today, more on that to come on Wednesday, complete with these treats, our new Chewy S’mores Bars, and Grandma Daisy’s Chocolate Chip Cookies. They were a hit! These Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats scream fun with their sprinkles and frosting and are a perfect way to add a little cheer to any occasion.

Ingredients

Krispie Treats

9 Tablespoons butter
2 16 oz bags of regular marshmallows
12 cups of Rice Krispies
2/3 cup yellow or white cake mix straight from the box
1 2 oz container of sprinkles (or 1/4 cup works)

Topping

1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon yellow or white cake mix straight from the box
Sprinkles

Instructions

Grease 9x13-inch square pan with cooking spray or butter. Melt butter and marshmallows together. When smooth and creamy turn off heat and stir cake mix in. Add Rice Krispies and stir. Keep stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated and the mixture has cooled a bit. Now stir in sprinkles. Wait until cereal is evenly coated and stir just long enough to mix sprinkle evenly throughout the mixture so the color doesn't bleed. Pour into prepared pan. Spray spatula or fingers with cooking spray and press mixture until evenly spread. Set aside. Place white chocolate chips into a plastic baggie. Microwave for 20 seconds. Take out and use fingers to mix by gently squeezing bag around. Repeat, mixing each time until white chocolate is soft and smooth. Open bag and mix in heaping 1 Tablespoon cake mix, straight from the box. Close bag and squish mixture around with your fingers until mixed well. When smooth, clip a small piece off of the corner of the bag and drizzle over treats. Cool and cut into squares. If I'm in a hurry, I pop them in the fridge to help the white chocolate set. Enjoy!
