Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats

This was last weeks offering for Mad Hatters and it was delicious! So much so that I sneaked more than a few pieces before I took it to school!

Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats (from Gimme Some Oven)
(Makes 12-15)

4 tbsp butter

300g mini-marshmallows

70g dry vanilla cake mix

125g Rice Krispies cereal

50g sprinkles/sugar strands

 

Grease and line a 23cm x 23cm baking pan.

 

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add the marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, then remove from heat.

 

Whisk in the dry cake mix, then stir in the cereal so it is  coated with marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and briefly stir. 

 

Press the mixture into the baking pan and top with the remaining sprinkles. Allow to set for at least an hour and then cut into bars.
