Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats

Ingredients

These Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats are super simple to make and require minimal ingredients. You will need: 6 tablespoons butter, 10 oz marshmallows, 1/3 cup yellow cake mix, 6 cups Rice Crispy cereal, and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips.

Instructions

Start by melting the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add in the marshmallows and stir constantly until they are fully melted. Remove the pan from the heat and add in the yellow cake mix and Rice Crispy cereal. Stir until everything is completely combined. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and then spread the mixture into the pan. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top and then press them down lightly. Allow the treats to cool for about an hour before cutting into bars.

Nutrition

These treats are a delicious and sweet treat, but they aren't the healthiest option. Each bar contains approximately 136 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 17 grams of sugar. If you are looking for a healthy snack alternative, try using whole-wheat cereal and using dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips to cut down on the sugar content.

Serving Suggestions

These Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats are delicious served as is, but they can also be served with a scoop of ice cream or some fresh fruit. They also make a great addition to any party or gathering. For a festive look, try using colored sprinkles or other decorations to make them even more festive.

Storage

These treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent them from melting. If you need to store them for longer than 5 days, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve them, simply thaw them in the refrigerator overnight.
