Are you ready for the most amazing, no bake, ready in 5 minutes, knock-off-your-socks recipe?!
It’s no secret that I love cake batter flavored everything.
It was only a matter of time until I expanded my recipe archive to feature cake batter rice krispie treats too.
Gooey, super marshmallow-y, full of colorful sprinkles, and bursting with that cake batter flavor you love. Do I need to convince you more to make these NOW?

Makes 24 squares. Squares stay fresh at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (10 oz.) bag of marshmallows
- 2/3 cup boxed yellow or white cake mix (the dry cake mix, not the batter)
- 6 cups rice krispie cereal
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Spray a 11x7 baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly. Once the marshmallows are completely melted, stir in the dry cake mix. Remove pan from heat.
- Stir in the cereal until it is completely coated with the marshmallow mixture. Mix in half of the sprinkles. Press into prepared baking pan and top with the remaining sprinkles. When I press rice krispie treats into a pan, I use a spatula sprayed with nonstick spray, making it easier to press down. Press down lightly, as too much pressure will create hard rice krispie treats.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes and cut into squares.

These look so delicious and super fun! Love that they don’t need to be baked, either. Great recipe, Sally!

These are so pretty and festive! Perfect for Easter! My nephews would go crazy for them (and me, too) they love funfetti cake!

For the love of everything good and holy, why did I stumble across this post?!
My sister just sent me to your blog and I’m beyond excited! I can’t wait to make these cake batter rice krispies. I call funfetti cookies “little pieces of Heaven” because I love them so much. Thanks for the great idea!

Katie! So fun to “meet” you! Let me know if you make them. I LOVE funfetti EVERYTHING!
I just made these with some leftover cake mix that I used for the cake batter white chocolate fudge. They are both so yummy..thanks!
Leah- yay! so glad you made both cake batter recipes. I have a thing for desserts tasting like cake batter
I made the cake batter rice krispy treats yesterday, and my boys loved them! I took a few to work to share (but not too many!), and they loved them also. I’m going to try it with strawberry cake mix next time, then just go down the list of my favorite flavors of cake. Thanks for the recipe!
Kristin – you are a genius! strawberry cake mix rice krispie treats! stop some with whipped cream and fresh strawberries and you’ve got a ittle strawberry shortcake! yum
I see I’m not the only night owl…but I’m at work.
Thanks for the recipe! I used it for a very special party I just had for my teen.

Love it! So glad you made + enjoyed them.
Looks delicious.. cannot wait to try this! I have all the ingredients except for the cake mix. The stores I’ve been into only sell vanilla cake mix or butter cake mixes. I’ve never seen a white or yellow cake mix? Is it okay to substitute for vanilla or butter cake mixes?
Hi Claudia! Yellow cake mix + Butter cake mix are pretty much the same! you may use butter or vanilla cake mix in this recipe. I hope you enjoy them!
I made these today and they are delicious! I had a really hard time getting the sprinkles to distribute throughout the mixture. Next time I’m going to combine the sprinkles with the rice cereal BEFORE mixing it with the marshmallow mixture and see how that works.
I had to use a lot of elbow grease to get them fully mixed! If you try it the other way, be careful to not let the hot marshmallows melt the sprinkles and create them to leak their color!
Just made these for my daughter’s slumber party and they are amazing!! Thank you!
Glad to hear it Jen!! Thanks for saying hi and letting me know.
These are so fun, we’re planning a birthday party for my little girl and these are just perfect! Thanks
I brought them into work and a few mothers brought them home saying that their kids loved them! Hope you enjoy, Kay!
Thanks for the amazing recipe! I love funfetti everything…and am crazy about baking. I would love to follow your blog! You are so creative with lots of ideas.
Thanks Sunny! And thanks for stopping by!
I just made these. They are delicious and incredibly easy to make! This is definitely a great treat to bring to a get-together and if you need to bring a food item but are crunched for time. Thanks for the recipe!
Lindsey, that is so nice to hear! They really are perfect for a party or gathering of friends. Everyone seems to LOVE cake batter.
I must try these ASAP. My husband is a lover of all things cake batter and I adore Rice Krispie Treats. The two combined… oh my! What a creative and undoubtedly delicious combination

Thank you! It’s a great combination.
Hey, does anyone know how much this makes, and if I double it, can I still only get one box of cake mix? Thanks!
yes only 1 box mix will be sufficient for doubling the recipe. Makes approx 24 squares.
Made your cake batter blondies and brought them to work. They were a hit! I made these today, and plan on bringing them to feed my crew on our flight tomorrow. Both recipes took literally minutes. You’re a genius!
Sounds like you love cake batter as much as I do Stef! So glad you made them – two of my favorite recipes
These look like the cutest things imaginable! I can’t wait to try these for an upcoming birthday. They are so festive!
Thanks Jocelyn! I think you’ll love them -these are always, always a hit!
I must have done something wrong… These taste delicious but they turned out super hard and crispy, not chewy gooey like a rice krispies treat should be. Any advice?
Oh no! Kate, did you press the rice krispies too hard in the pan? The trick is to just lightly press them down and don’t “compact” them which will result in hard rice krispie treats. The cake mix should have no effect on the texture.
Is it just the mix or u make the batter
just the dry cake mix
I don’t have an 11 x 7 baking pan, plus I’d like to double it. Do you think a 9 x 13 would work if I double it?
Hey Laurie! The Rice Krispie Treats will be very thick if you double it. So you can either have very thin bars by not doubling the recipe in a 9×13 pan or very thick bars by doubling it in a 9×13 pan. Either way, they’ll be pretty good!
Can I use the leftover cake batter sprinkle mix from my cake batter cinnamon rolls, which btw are nothing less than amazing!!!
Hi Jennifer! You sure can – great idea.
