Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats

I recently came across a recipe for Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats over at Gimme Some Oven and I so had to try them. I mean seriously – cake batter and rice crispy treats – who could pass that up. I did try them and if I make them again, I would have to make a couple of adjustments. Although I did make one large one right away – I made these via my slow cooker. Hell yeah, that was probably the best part right there. I didn’t have to stand over a stove, waiting for marshmallows to melt, constantly stirring. Nope. I threw everything into the slow cooker and came back an hour later and stirred everything up. It was awesome and I doubt I’ll ever make rice crispy treats on the stove ever again.

The original recipe only calls for about 1/3 cup of cake mix, but that is so not enough. I knew that going in and actually made mine with 1/2 cup and that still wasn’t enough.  Well, it depends on the type of cake mix used I guess. For yellow cake, it made the rice crispy treats taste more like a sugar cookie than cake batter – not really what I was hoping for.  I made another batch with Devil’s Food cake and that was yummy. It gave the rice crispies a nice chocolate flavor without all the mess that comes with adding chocolate chips. I also used chocolate sprinkles for this one and that worked out nicely as well. However, I don’t think I would recommend using the Devil’s Food again – if you’re going to do it, go straight for the actual chocolate cake mix, or better yet trifle fudge cake mix. *grin* The other nice thing about using chocolate cake mix to make chocolate rice crispies is they don’t turn that brown. The picture below is of the chocolate variety as the yellow were given away before I remembered to take a picture.

Overall, these came out nice, but I think I actually prefer the originals more. It just wasn’t cakey enough for me. The one thing I will discourage is you can’t make these as a double batch. Not in the slow cooker at least. Unless you have a rather large one, there’s not enough room once you have all the melted marshmallows and cereal together – not for a double batch. If you want to try, go for it, but I couldn’t do it.

Cake Batter Rice Crispy TreatsIngredients:
3 tbsp butter
1 (16 oz.) bag of marshmallows
2/3 cup cake mix (the dry cake mix, not prepared into a batter!)
6 cups crispy rice cereal
1 container of sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

  1. Combine the butter and marshmallows in a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW setting 1 hour. Add cake mix and stir until well blended. Stir in cereal, and half of the sprinkles if using, so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture.
  3. Either drop the mixture by tablespoons onto wax paper or press into a baking dish – top with remaining sprinkles.  Let it sit for 30 minutes (give or take), then enjoy!  Store in an airtight container.

Note: If you spread these out on a cookie sheet, they’ll be thin as a single batch.  I did that, then once they cooled, folded them on each other. They came out as a nice thick block and made cutting them a little easier too.

    Hi everyone!!!
    I’m so excited share this testimony here about how i got my ex husband back after a break up. I’m Clara 28 yr old from USA, Am a woman who love and cherish my husband more than any other thing you can imagine on earth continent. My husband was so lovely and caring after 3 years of marriage he was seriously ill and the doctor confirm and said he has a kidney infection that he needed a kidney donor, that was how I start searching for who can help, doctor has given me a periodic hour that he will live just 24 hours left, that was how I ask the doctor if I can be of help to my husband that was how he carried out the text, the confirming was successful, I was now having this taught that since 3 years now we got married I have not be able to get pregnant can I be able to get bring again? That was the question I ask the doctor, he never answer his response was did you want to lost your husband? I immediately reply no I can’t afford to lose him. After the operation my husband came back to live and was healthy I was also OK with the instruction given to me by the doctor, after 3 months my husband came home with another lady telling me, that is our new wife that will give us kids and take care of us, that was how I was confused and started crying all day, that was how my husband ran away with his new wife cleanable. Since then I was confuse don’t know what to do that was how I went back to the doctor and tell him everything, he told me that, this is not just an ordinary it must be a spiritual problem that was how he gave me this Email: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com that I should tell he all my problem that he can help that was how i contacted he and I do as instructed. After 22 hours and I have done what he ask me to do, my husband start searching for me and went back to the doctor, that was how we well settle he also told me not to worry that I will get pregnant, this month making it the fifth Month I contacted he am now 3 months pregnant.
