Hi friends! Here’s something red for the Valentine’s day coming up. It’s something really easy for those tight on time. It’s also something that won’t break the piggy bank, but it’s a nice and thoughtful gift for the ones you care about.
The red velvet flavor wasn’t very strong with 1/2 cup of mix, so I added a bit more to take it up a notch. You could also add heart sprinkles on the top when you’re done to make it even more lovey-dovey, but I’m good with just the redness of the rice crispies.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Ingredients
- 1 (10.5 oz) bag of mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup red velvet cake mix
- 6 cups rice crispies cereal
- sprinkles for topping (optional for that extra pizazz!-- which I didn't add because these babies were just for me)
Directions
- Melt butter and mini marshmallows over low heat. When the marshmallows are completely melted, mix in the vanilla and red velvet cake mix.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in the rice crispies until evenly coated.
- Pour the batter into a lined or greased 13"x9" pan and press down.
- Wait until cooled and cut to serve.

Is the cake mix just out of the box dry? These sound delish

I really want to make this recipe but I’m confused on if I’m using uncooked batter or not?
