Ingredients
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal (any brand will work)
- 10 oz bag of marshmallows
- 6 tbsp salted butter
- ⅔ cup dry cake mix (Funfetti, yellow, or white cake mix)
- 1 bottle rainbow sprinkles (3 oz bottle)
- 2-3 tbsp marshmallow creme (optional but delicious)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a pan on low heat. Once butter is melted add marshmallows and marshmallow creme (optional). Stir constantly so the marshmallows melt evenly and do not burn. This process will take about 5 minutes.
- Remove melted marshmallows from the heat and add 2/3 cup of funfetti cake mix (or white or yellow cake mix). Stir gently until the cake mix is fully combined.
- In a large bowl, add 6 cups of crispy rice cereal and the marshmallow/cake mix mixture. Add desired amount of sprinkles (generally ½ to ¾ of the sprinkle bottle). Reserved the remainder to sprinkle on top. Stir until the cereal is completely coated.
- Butter a 9x13 baking dish and pour the Cake Batter Rice Krispie treats into the pan. Using a spatula sprayed with cooking spray, press down these treats evenly in the pan. Top with remaining sprinkles and enjoy!
