cake batter rice crispy treats
March 25th, 2011
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 ran 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 Krispies Recipe
(From How Sweet Eats)
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1 (10 oz.) bag of mini-marshmallows
- 1/4 cup yellow cake mix (the dry cake mix, not prepared into a batter!)
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 (1.75 oz.) container of sprinkles
Method:
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, adding in (dry) cake mix one spoonful at a time so its combined. Stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and mix. Press 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.
Ali’s Tip:
I actually increased the cake batter to 1/3 cup for my recipe to give it a little extra cake batter kick (the 1/4 cup seemed just a little too subtle to me), but add as much in as you like!
***Note: Many readers have asked what to do with the remaining cake mix. If you would like to use it to whip up a batch of cake mix cookies, just measure out 6 oz. of the remaining cake mix, and combine it with 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil, and 1 egg. Stir until mixed. Then form into cookie dough balls, and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.***
These sound great! I have marshmallow fluff/creme, but no marshmallows. Do you know how I could use the fluff instead? Thanks!
I love these and will probably make them the other way again. These were a hit with my nephews and I added the extra cake mix like you suggested and it was yummy! Thank you for the recipe.
These look perfect for my Valentines Recital!!
Sounds delicious! I am having friends over for dinner this weekend and will be making this for dessert. I already bought the ingredients!
I don’t understand the point of this; it’s just the usual rice crispy treat recipe with the dry mix added. Why?
Today is the 2nd time I’m making these. I’m taking them down to our spot along the Mardi Gras parade route! So good!
I made them, they are delicious!
Lucieth,
To some of us that like to change things up this gives the rice krispy treats a completely different taste which if you read the other comments others seem to really love them. What I don’t understand is how you can’t see that they are different, Why? Do you ever try changing a recipe up for a new taste, do you always challenge someone when they try something new?
If you have to ask why, then you obviously have not tasted these delightful yummy treats! Give them a try and you will see for yourself….you will NEVER go back to plain rice krispie treats again! Thank you so much for posting…love them!
You can make cake batter pancakes.

My kiddo LOVES them!
Making these for daughters Valentine’s party with Valentine’s funfetti mix. Also bought red and pink glitter gel to decorate.
Can’t wait to try.
Just made these and they are delicious! I don’t think I will ever make the original version again. Thanks for sharing!!!
Has anyone tried chocolate cake mix.
this also tastes delicious with a white chocolate base…. yummy :)
Remaining cake mix? You should never have any remaining. Just make more treats. lol
Could you not just use the FunFetti cake mix???
