CAKE BATTER RICE CRISPIE TREATS

(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!
