The Story Behind Birthday Cake Rice Krispies

If you’ve been here for a while, you know I love a good rice krispie treat. I love that they are fast and easy to make. Plus, they are incredibly tasty.

It’s been some time since I made a new flavor of rice krispies! To appease my laziness, I decided it needed to be done pronto. I racked my brain trying to land on a new flavor. For some reason, a birthday cake kept popping into my head. I’ve never heard of birthday cake krispies before, so I decided to go for it. Unfortunately, these are totally a thing already. A quick Pinterest search showed several recipes. I decided to come up with my own recipe and they did not disappoint.

They have just a slight hint of cake, but they are so festive. The sprinkles just make these so fun! These are sure to be a kid favorite! In fact, this entire recipe was gobbled up by a group of tween boys in a matter of minutes.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or not, you should whip them up and try it yourselves.

F.A.Q.S for Birthday Cake Rice Krispies

Can I use a different cake mix?

Sure! I would stick to a white based cake mix such as rainbow chip, white, or yellow.

Can I use muffins liners?

Yes! I prefer to bake muffins without them, but you can definitely use them.

Can I freeze these?

Absolutely! I would suggest freezing them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and thawing them unwrapped.

How should I store these?

These stay great on the counter for 2-3 days as long as they are covered.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Rice krispie treats seem to taste the best when they are fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, I wouldn’t do it more than 1 day ahead.

Do I have to use jimmy sprinkles?

I prefer the texture of a jimmy sprinkle, but you are more than welcome to use your favorite kind! These are the sprinkles I used. The bright pink and purple is just too fun.
