Yea so liiiiiike…these are just your tried and true rice krispies treats with, ya know, cake mix in them.
Like, out-of-a-box-delicious-Funfetti-cake mix.
Who on God’s green earth doesn’t love Funfetti?!
And if it’s YOU… pipe down.
Anytime I take a bite of Funfetti cake, I wonder why I ever bother to bake from scratch.
Are you nodding your head in agreement?
I knew it!
So I mean, now that I’ve went there and simply added a scoop of my favorite cake mix evah to rice krispies treats, I’m sitting here thinking “man, why didn’t I think of this?!” and simultaneously racking my brain for other foods to which I can add 1/3 cup of Funfetti cake mix to make it taste like an incredible birthday cake type treat.
I’m all like, “funfetti coffee!” No… “Funfetti cereal!” No… “I’ll sprinkle it on my strawberries!” No again… “Funfetti water! YES! Wait, no… gross. These ideas are all terrible. Just stick with the rice krispies!”
These almost didn’t make it to the blog because Lloyd started yelling at me to share with him as soon as he saw I took a little corner piece.
Through my first bite of ecstasy, I barked, “I need to take pictures for the blog!”
Which was true, but I also sort of didn’t want to share them. And Lloyd claims to “not really like marshmallow things.” Ummmm, rice krispies are kind of “marshmallow things.” Or so he says everytime I make treats like like s’mores cookies or s’mores bars.
And then someone always ends up helping himself to one or seven, regardless.
But what do I know, right?
“I just want one. I need to try it… for the blog.” Lloyd claimed.
I reminded him that he “doesn’t really like marshmallow things” as I cut him a tiny sliver anyway. You know where this is going, right?
It turns out that Lloyd does “really like marshmallow things.” So much so that we kept cutting off more and more pieces until just the middle of the small pan was left. I finally put the kibosh on the “just ooooooone more bite” thing we had going on because as I reminded him, “I need to take pictures for the blog.”
And the moral of the story here folks, is that I’m right.
Lloyd really does like marshmallow things.

Nobody doesn’t like funfetti – or saying the word!
Funfetti water, gross. I have been wanting to make rice crispy treats recently, now I have to go buy some cake mix!
I love when my husband claims not to like some sort of dessert but then can’t stop eating it!
My boyfriend does the same thing – “well, I need to try it anyway… for the blog” haha. I love these cake batter rice krispie treats – they are one of the most popular recipes on my blog. So dang good.
There is no one on the planet who can resist rice krispie treats. Lloyd, stop pretending.
These look awesome! Who knew that you could combine Funfetti cake mix with rice krispies treats? Genius!
Funfetti totally makes the world a better place! And seeing as I can’t remember the last time I had a rice krispie treat, I think I need to make these… stat.
I want some of those for breakfast…
How could you not like marshmallowy things? I mean come on, they are soft, puffy marshmallows! I haven’t had a funfetti cake in way too long!

Pretty much NOTHING beats sprinkles. Love these, Liz!
I adore funfetti cake! I can’t believe I haven’t tried these yet.
Oh hello, these sound and look fabulous! Funfetti cake mix is my favorite too!
These sprinkles make these absolutely perfect for a birthday! My nephew can’t have gluten, so I’ll have to remember these for his next birthday from his “favorite aunt!”
Aren’t these just amazingly delicious?! They didn’t last long in my house.
Is there anything more fun then funfetti?!
Oh what fun! They make me want to do a little dance!
With cake mix? I am intrigued! They look mightily yummy!
Funfetti makes everything better! We had made these from How Sweet It Is and they were fantastic
I’m down for cake batter anything. And my little sister had a funfetti wedding cake. Just sayin.
These are so fun, Liz! Love ‘em!
Rice krispies are always a glorious choice and then when you make them funfetti/birthday cake style!? Umm heck yes!
My kids love these!

Perfection!
I think my hubby would go crazy for these! Awesome!
Love these! perfect for any birthday!
Fun! These look fabulous!
I want some! These would be perfect for a celebration – or for a Monday afternoon!
These are pretty darn genius – now I’m craving a Rice Krispie Treat!
I love anything with cake batter – I’ve been meaning to make the rice krispy treats and still haven’t gotten around to it. I must make them soon!
Fabulous! I’ve made cake batter caramel corn but I need to try this with RKTreats. I love them so much already!
This is music to my ears…er mouth?? I’m not sure which, but either way I want to chow down on some rice krispie treats!
Yum! Funfetti cake mix is seriously the best!
Yum, I know for a fact these rock
and once I realized I could add cake mix to these, I also started going crazy with funfetti additions to weird things. Some work, some don’t, but hey, I actually thought about the funfetti water thing for a couple minutes, trying SOHARD to force myself to think it’d work… you were starting to be onto something there! Haha.
This was my first attempt at Rice Krispie Treats and I was very happy with them!
