Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/3 cup dry cake mix (any flavor)
Wet Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (about 10 oz)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Melt marshmallows and butter: In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter first, then add the marshmallows, stirring continuously until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Mix in cake mix and cereal: Remove from heat and immediately stir in the dry cake mix until evenly combined, then fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until all pieces are coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press into pan: Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, evenly press the mixture into a greased 13×9 inch pan, ensuring a compact layer. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use any flavor of dry cake mix to customize the treats.
- For chewier treats, use larger marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold their shape.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Optional: Add sprinkles on top before the mixture sets for extra color and fun.
