For Spencer's first birthday this year, he had... wait for it.... 4 parties. Yeah, I know. But, there was a reason to each. The first was at daycare on his birthday. The second wasn't "really" a party, and it was on his birthday, with his uncle, his BFF, and my cousin. The third was the day after his birthday, with his dad, his uncle, and his BFF (because his dad had to work all day on his actual birthday). The fourth was the Sunday following his birthday, with a lot of his family and friends.
Anyway, I didn't want to "over-birthday-cake" the poor little guy, so he had a birthday muffin, a birthday cookie, birthday cake rice crispy treat, and birthday cupcakes (in that order).
These were delicious. So, I'll share.
Birthday Cake Rice Crispy Bars:
3 T. butter
10 oz. mini marshmallows (one bag, generally)
1/4 c. yellow cake mix (I used nearly 1/3 cup)
6 c. crispy rice cereal
sprinkles (as many as you want, really)
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows.
- Stir them until they melt.
- Add cake mix gradually, stirring to combine it.
- Stir in cereal and some sprinkles (or dump the marshmallow mix over cereal in a separate bowl) until it's all gooey and sticky and completely mixed. Try not to eat it all in the process (I tried to eat some, and uh, it's still really hot...).
- Press into a baking dish (I used a 9x13 inch pan, I believe) and top with more sprinkles!
- Let sit about half an hour before cutting.
- Eat away. But try to share. That's the nice thing to do.
