In honor of my son’s birthday, I wanted to share the recipe for these delectable rice krispie treats that I made this past weekend. The addition of dry cake mix adds a touch of flavor to the classic rice krispie treats, and the sprinkles add a touch of FUN that will draw the kids (and adults) in…I promise.
