S'more Rice Krispie Treats

I made these for a work party, and they were a hit. These are really easy to make since you microwave the marshmallows! 

Taste: Pretty chocolate-y. And you could barely taste the graham crackers, but delicious! Chocolate rice krispie treats? who can say no?! I didn't like them as much as the Cake Batter Krispie Treats though.. 
Texture: Soft and chewy
Would I make this again?: Yea, but I would use Golden Grahams instead of Rice Krispies, and add more marshmallows. You can never have enough marshmallows!

found: Tasty Kitchen

(I doubled this recipe to make an entire 13 x 9 pan of them)
3 cups Marshmallows
1 Tablespoon (heaping) Butter
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3 cups Rice Krispies
1 cup Graham Crackers, Broken Into Coarse Pieces
1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips

Butter an 8 x 8 inch square pan.

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, place the marshmallows, butter and vanilla in the microwave until the marshmallows begin to soften, about a minute. Mix with a spatula and microwave for another minute until the marshmallows are fully melted. Add the rice krispies, graham cracker chunks and chocolate chips to combine.

Press the mixture into the prepared pan. I drizzled white chocolate over the top just for fun. Allow to cool and enjoy!

Cake Batter Crispy Treats

How amazing does these sound? Yup, they taste that good! 
Taste: Sweet, and marshmallow-y. YUM
Texture: Like regular rice krispies treats, but with crunchy sprinkles
Would I make these again?: YES. They are SO easy, and different from the norm. But I would make 2 batches (it didn't make that many), and put in less sprinkles. Sprinkles look fun, but don't taste that great. I would probably use funfetti cake inside, and only put sprinkles on top.
Cake Batter Crispy Treats
From: How Sweet It Is

3 tablespoons butter
1 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows
1/4 cup yellow cake mix
6 cups rice krispies cereal
1 1.75-ounce container of sprinkles (I may or may not have read that as 11.75 oz, whoops!)

Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, adding in cake mix one spoonful at a time so its combined. Stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and mix. Press into a baking dish (any size will do) and top with remaining sprinkles. Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting. I find spraying a knife with nonstick spray helps to cut them.
