Cake Batter Crispy Treats.
I’ve been in NASCAR jail since Friday afternoon.
In case you didn’t know, today is the Daytona 500. I didn’t know this for 24 years. But now that I have Mr. How Sweet in my life, he will never let me forget it. It will most likely be his best day of 2011… depending on who wins of course.
He’s been glued to the TV all weekend, watching and re-watching every possible NASCAR special known to man. I even think some tears were shed. But you didn’t hear that from me.
He has the diecast cars out to decorate and is wearing a Dale Earnhardt t-shirt from 1991. And there might be a big cooler of beer in the foyer.
Needless to say, I’m running far, far away until Sunday evening. And taking some credit cards with me.
Since the only food gracing our kitchen this afternoon is 16 pounds of meat and a gallon of ketchup, I wanted to leave him something else to snack on. And since he absolutely loves rice crispy treats, and since I’m so annoyingly obsessed with cake batter flavors, I quickly combined the two. The result is a cakey-flavored crispy treat with tons of sprinkles. Love.

Cake Batter Crispy Treats
original recipe on the back of the cereal box!
3 tablespoons butter
1 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows
1/4 cup yellow cake mix
6 cups rice krispies cereal
1 1.75-ounce container of sprinkles
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, adding in 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.

Chances are these will last less than 30 seconds. I can already see him alternating bites of burgers and crispy treats.

Hi There,
Is there anything you can use instead of the yellow cake mix? we dont have that here in
new zealand,what about a vanilla cake mix? or is that pretty much the same thing?
Lauren, we don’t have naything called yellow cake mix in australia either, but if you can find butter cake mix I’m pretty sure it’s exactly the same. but I’m sure vanilla would work as well

I think next time I will try putting a little more of the cake mix in there, I was hoping for a more amped up cake flavor. That being said, I used my own recipe for rice krispie treats which calls for more butter and more marshmallows so my ratio’s were probably off. Will definitely be making these again….I love all things cake batter flavored!!

Such a fun idea! I used chocolate cake batter (because its what I had in the pantry) and I doubled the amount. Results were so tasty. Quite a treat!

I do agree with all the concepts you have offered in your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are very quick for beginners. Could you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

You haven’t met me or my friend Minnie, but we talk about how when it comes to food that your recipes always win.
Seriously. When we make your stuff, we get encores.
I only have big marshmallows, can I use those and how would it convert?
I made these to take camping with us, I couldn’t figure out a productive way to package them so we didn’t have a lot of waste form the packaging. I formed them into balls and put them all in one Ziploc bag and it worked perfectly!! Everyone LOVED them and I did not have to carry any of them home!
I made these for my boyfriends kids and they took them to school in slabs! :)

How long do you think these will last if stored in an air tight container? I was thinking about shipping to a friend for her birthday, since I envision them to hold up better than cookies in the mailing process, but if I mailed them priority do you still think they would be too hard in 2-3 days?
