Hey all! Wow can you believe we are already in May! Some days I just do not even know how to process it. I really can’t believe it is already Mother’s Day this weekend as well. I am not sure what my family is up too but I bet they are cooking up something good! Surely they can find lots of ideas here and here!
Now when it comes to these treats, it is all NO BAKE! Some weeks that is about all I can manage. I made these right before we headed out the door for Spring Break a few weeks back.
My 4 year old is the one who inspired this particular recipe. She was asking for some type of dessert and of course I obliged. I knew I had some cereal I wanted to use up but I didn’t go with staying with the original krispie treat I added chocolate cake to mine! Then topped it off with frosting! My 4 year old had the idea of adding sprinkles. She thought they were magic! ENJOY!

I’m assuming mini-marshmallows? What if I only have jumbo ones – how many of those is the equivalent of the 20 mini-marshmallows?

Hi Lynn, I used regular size marshmallows in this recipe and not mini. Thanks!
