These Red Velvet Cake Krispie Treats are a simple spin on the Basic Rice Krispie Treat! And we amped them up with a yummy frosting filling!

First and foremost I have to let you know these were my kiddo’s idea. He has recently taken up an interest in giving me flavor combinations that sound…well…interesting.

For example, this week I let each of the kids invent their own ice cream flavors that we made in the ice cream maker. His recipe was peanut butter cup, cookie dough, Golden Oreo with a Strawberry Syrup swirl.

Otherwise known as Vomit Flavor.

But sometimes he has good ideas. Like these Red Velvet Cake Krispie Treats. Which he told me HAD to include frosting. Because, hello…CAKE.

I might be raising a genius.Honestly these couldn’t be easier.

And the easy way to stuff krispie treats is to line a large jelly roll pan with foil.  Spray lightly with cooking spray and set aside.

Next up you’ll need some Red Velvet Cake mix.  We used 1/3 cup.

Go ahead and get your marshmallows ready.

We used large marshmallows on this day because it was all we had in the house.  I usually prefer to use mini marshmallows because they melt faster.

Whatever, survival of the fittest.

Of course the little dude had to be involved…

  1. These are so good! I had my husband make these for me last night and OMG! We opted for the cream cheese and powder sugar in the middle…..so happy we did! It’s a keeper recipe! Thanks:)

  2. Next time you should try using cocoa krispies. This will give it more of the red velvet cake flavor. I recently made red velvet cocoa rice krispie treats with melting wafers in marshmallow flavor drizzled over the top. They were a big hit!!

  3. I needed to use up the extra Vanilla Cream Cheese I have. Thanks for the great idea and thanks to your kiddo!

  4. I made a Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix once and it tasted so terrible we had to throw it out. Maybe it was just a bad batch. It just tasted like food coloring, bleh! I was so disappointed because Duncan Hines is always my go to cake mix brand..
