Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 cup yellow cake mix (dry)
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot or saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until fully melted. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
- Add Cake Mix and Cereal: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the dry yellow cake mix until fully incorporated into the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Mix in Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring carefully to coat all the cereal evenly with the marshmallow and cake batter mixture.
- Shape and Cool: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch pan. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Let cool completely at room temperature until set, about 30 minutes.
- Cut and Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Using mini marshmallows helps them melt faster and more evenly.
- Yellow cake mix adds a sweet, vanilla cake flavor for a fun twist.
- You can substitute with any cake mix flavor such as chocolate or funfetti for variety.
- For easier removal, line the pan with parchment paper before pressing the mixture.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
