(They were so beautiful I had to instagram {kayleekc} it)
I absolutely love Rice Crispie Treats, I mean who doesn't? (My boyfriend doesn't, it breaks my heart a little every time it comes up ). Last week when I was perusing Pinterest I saw these magnificent treats then went looking through tons of recipes to see what a good amount of cake mix to use is. I had to make then right away so I went down to my corner store and found adequate ingredients (if I had planned this out, I would have chosen a few things differently).
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of rice cereal (I like Kellogg's Rice Krispies {snap, crackle, pop})
- 1 10.5 bag of mini marshmallows ( I prefer Jet-Puffed, the deli didn't have it)
- 1/3 cup of dry yellow cake mix (My deli didn't have yellow so I used the Fudge Marble and didn't add any of the chocolate)
- 3 oz of butter
- Sprinkles (I prefer Non-Pareils, but your favorite will do!
Directions:
- Melt butter in a large pot
- Add in marshmallows and stir constantly while they melt
- Right before all the marshmallows are melted, add in the cake mix little by little and continue to stir
- When the marshmallows are completely melted, take off the heat and add in cereal
- Mix in the cereal until completely coated and transfer to a brownie pan (make sure to butter or spray with pam first so it doesn't stick)
- Lightly butter or spray a spatula with pam then press down the Rice Crispies till they are even in the pan
- Sprinkle with sprinkles!
- Wait till they are cool to cut, then...
ENJOY!
