Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 1 bag Mini-Marshmallows (4 cups)
- 2/3 cup Dry Cake Mix (Yellow, White, or Confetti)
- 5 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
- 1 container Sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Keep the heat low to prevent burning.
- Add Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add 4 cups of mini marshmallows to the pan. Stir frequently to melt marshmallows completely until smooth and lump-free.
- Add Cake Mix: Stir in 2/3 cup of dry cake mix into the melted marshmallow mixture, then remove the pan from heat.
- Mix in Cereal and Sprinkles: Add 5 cups of crispy rice cereal and about half the container of sprinkles to the marshmallow mixture. Stir gently to coat all cereal evenly.
- Press into Pan: Pour the mixture into a 13x9x2-inch pan coated lightly with cooking spray. Using wax paper or a spatula sprayed with cooking spray, press the mixture evenly across the pan.
- Add Final Sprinkles & Serve: Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles on top for decoration and extra fun. Allow the treats to cool slightly, then cut and enjoy!
Notes
- Melt marshmallows on low heat to avoid hard, crunchy treats.
- Use a pan size based on desired treat thickness; smaller pans yield thicker treats.
- Spray hands with cooking spray if pressing the mixture by hand to prevent sticking.
