Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats

A few months ago, cake batter infused goodies began to appear all over the blogosphere world. I was intrigued. So when one of my good friends recently celebrated her 30th birthday, I knew I had to make these. She loves rice krispie treats. Loves them. When I think of birthdays, I automatically think of colorful celebrations. What a colorful, fun way to celebrate a birthday! They smelled awesome and tasted great. Plus, thanks to all of the cake batter recipes I saved, I have tons of things I can make with the leftover cake batter: pancakes, chocolate bark, cupcakes. Enjoy!
