Funfetti Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

[gringalicious]

Who says Wednesdays have to be the worst?

I don’t know but I’m overwriting that law today and saying we make this a Monday-FUNday and sprinkles are always a great way to do that, don’t you think?

Okay, honestly my family is more swayed toward the dark side of desserts (meaning I’ve got some serious chocoholics in my crew) but personally I sometimes would choose vanilla over chocolate (shhhhhh, don’t tell!). I know I get that from my mom because, as much as she loves her chocolate, she has a tendency to have vanilla moods quite often and so do I. That’s why I occasionally feel like making something without chocolate despite it being underappreciated among my tasters. It’s really kind of annoying how underrated my non-chocolate creations are sometimes.

I’ll admit that I couldn’t get everyone to even taste these. Usually that would make me think that they weren’t "all that" because I rely heavily on my peeps to help me decide if something is worthy of posting. In this one instance though, I’m sharing these anyway because I know why they didn’t get the reviews they deserved. You see, I did the stupidest thing possible and made them on the same day that I also made my family’s highest rated recipe ever, my homemade snickers (Btw, you’ve got to try them guys! Not joking, they are definitely in my top 5!). My poor krispie treats didn’t have a chance. So that’s why I thought I’d share the recipe with you so you can appreciate them for me because as a vanilla lover I know they are awesome.

I have never made rice krispie treats for the blog because you can’t actually buy the rice krispies here. I cheated and used and actually used plain puffed brown rice cakes that I just broke up in pieces and toasted, but I know this would work even better with just puffed rice. I love the no-bake factor of these treats and I think you probably do too. They can be made so fast and they only require a few ingredients making them a perfect anytime dessert. I did add a few more ingredients than your basic krispie treat to make these the best, but all the ingredients are pretty straight forward and they should be things you already have.

Rice krispie treats are such a classic. I remember my mom would put them in our school lunches and we always got excited to find out what kind we got. My little sister Lela used to call them “rice Christmas trees” when she was learning to speak English and the funniest part is that she really thought that’s what they were called. It was my favorite thing ever, so cute! Of course, I seem to be the only one who remembers this, but I’m 100% positive about it. She loved them too, especially the chocolate (imagine that).

So I wanted to make these taste like cake batter but since I’m totally against using nasty boxed cake mixes on principal, I decided to just add the majority of things that would be actually in cake batter. Something that I’ve found is missing in so many recipes that claim to be cake batter is the egg. Okay, so I know people freak out about raw eggs and I’ve talked about this way too many times before and how I feel about it. I understand that if they aren’t handled correctly eggs can make you sick, but I’m living proof as a daily recipe creator that raw egg is not as dangerous as you might believe. That’s all beside the point though, as you’re going to cook the egg for this recipe, so no worries! The egg just adds that batter taste that gives you the warm-fuzzies of being a kid on your mom’s counter. I also added a dip in icing because, hello, yum!

And like I already mentioned, I used puffed brown rice that was unsweetened but you can use regular rice krispies cereal instead. If you use unsweetened you just need to add a little extra sugar to them. You’ll see it listed in the recipe. Oh, and one more thing before I shut up, the sprinkles. In case you were wondering what kind I used, mine were homemade. I’m still working on perfecting making homemade sprinkles and I’ve even done them with completely natural colors, but I’m not quite ready to share a recipe. My hope is to get into videos someday and then it would be the perfect thing to post.

So anyway, make this day taste like nostalgia and try these you guys!

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.

Thanks @maestroq! I'm so pleased that you like it.

[drstevegilbert]

That looks like rice cripsie treats taken to the next level! They look delicious. I never thought about using milk and eggs in the mixture. It's always just been rice crispies, butter, and marshmallows. This might have to be a treat for my son birthday coming up. Thanks for the idea!

[gringalicious]

You're very welcome @drstevegilbert! I am so happy to be sharing them!

[marconah]

Wow .. Looks like this food is very tasty, it's like peanuts mixed with honey.

[gringalicious]

[oleg326756]

The awesomeness of the visuals and the description is killing me, because I cannot experience the awesomeness of these little treats’ taste and texture!

And don’t worry about raw eggs – I have no problems with them. Sometimes I just drink a raw chicken egg, if I’m hungry and too lazy to boil or fry it. (What? Who just said “eeeeeew!!..” here??)

[gringalicious]

Haha, well that would be a little bit extreme for me to drink a raw egg plain @oleg326756 but I respect everyone's preferences. Whatever floats your boat I'd say.

[tesscooks4u]

I need one of those with my cup of coffee. I have not had a rice krispie treat in years...decades! LOL! They look sweet and yummy. Great pics. Have a wonderful day. Tess :)
