Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treats
When it comes to cake, I am definitely a from-scratch girl. I've tried all the tricks with store-bought cake mixes, and they never turn out well for me. I don't know how it's possible that I can't bake a cake from a mix to save my life, but I can bake a from-scratch cake with no problem, but here we are. Despite not being able to bake a cake from a mix, I still find myself buying cake mixes frequently, and using them in other recipes, just because I love the flavor! These cake batter rice krispy treats were exactly what I needed on a day when I was craving a good piece of cake, but way too lazy to actually bake anything. They take only a few minutes to whip up, and taste amazing! Anything with sprinkles tastes better, right? I love that these are such a simple and fun treat, and easy enough that the kids can help make them too. Rice krispy treats always have a special place in my heart, and these are some of my favorites that I've ever made!
