Licking the beaters after making a cake ranks right up there on the awesome list. That yummy flavor is in these treats. Grab a glass of milk and you’re set. The sprinkles make for a fun pop of color and let’s be honest, sprinkles always win. These treats are a great alternative to a birthday cake. My oldest son hates cake. Any kind. Weirdo. So I have to think of other things to make him for his birthday. Cookies, brownies, anything but cake. He was probably switched at birth, but don’t tell him that. These Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats will be a perfect substitution for birthday cake. He doesn’t need to know that there’s cake mix in them.

They are the Wilton sprinkles “Flowerful Medley” that comes in a cylander container. Here is a link to it on Walmart:
