Baking With The Boy {Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treats TWO WAYS!}

I must say I never thought I'd find a "new" rice krispy treat.... but I did.  Super cute, super easy, super yummy.  I made these on Easter cause they were so spring-like but I'm making them with the boy today for a snack for his class on Monday because they are the bomb and I thought I'd share JUST in case you haven't come across one of the 3,000,000 posts on these yet.  LOL

WHAT YOU NEED:

3 TBSP Butter

1 (10 oz) bag of mini-marshmallows

1/2 cup DRY yellow cake mix

6 cups Rice Krispies

1/2 cup Rainbow Sprinkles {reserve 1 TBSP to sprinkle on top}

WHAT YOU DO:
Melt the butter over medium heat in a large non-stick saute pan, add the marshmallows and stir with a wooden spoon until melted. Remove from heat, add the cake mix, stir in quickly but completely then add the Rice Krispies.  Stir gently until coated then add all but 1 TBSP of the sprinkles, stir in.  


"Pour" the "batter" into a 9 x 13 and use a damp scraper to pat them down so they are even.  Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles over the top, gently pat into the treats.  Allow to set for at least 30 minutes before cutting.


Best. Mom. Ever.










***UPDATE***


Mid project I decided one tray was not enough AND that I was out of rainbow sprinkles..... fortuitously {great word huh?} though I had chocolate sprinkles..... PERFECTO!

We did a tray of each.... it was as though I planned to have something for everyone..... BETTER than BEST. MOM. EVER.
