- 1 recipe Rice Krispies Treats, prepared but not completely cooled
- add 1 tbsp. white cake mix into the melted marshmallow mixture
- 1 buttercream recipe, prepared (or store bought frosting)
- a cupcake tin (silicone liners make this easier, but they aren’t necessary)
- Non-stick spray
- Sprinkles (optional)
Directions:
1. Scoop two 1/4 cups of the rice krispies treats mixture into each well greased or lined muffin tin. Pat the first scoop down firmly into the tin. Round the second scoop on top, using a well greased rubber spatula, to resemble the top of a cupcake.
2. Prepare the butter cream and fill frosting bags for piping.
3. Roll out a comfortable 2 feet of clear plastic wrap.
4. Dollup a “frosting-bag’s-worth” of frosting onto the center of the plastic wrap.
5. Gently wrap the plastic around the frosting like you would a present, forming a cylinder.
6. Tightly twist the plastic wrap from the ends to the center.
7. Pull one end of the plastic wrap through the tip of the frosting bag:
8. Clip the end off of the plastic wrap, twist the top of the bag to close it, and proceed to pipe frosting normally:
The frosting bad tip is genius! Thanks for sharing!
Those are absolutely adorable. I hadn’t seen the plastic wrap trick. Great idea!
I tried that frosting tip, too…best ever!
Great tip and such a cute idea. This would be great for a class party! Thanks for another great recipe, Ashton.
Oh my goodness, how CUTE are these?!?!? These would be PERFECT for my son’s class party in a few weeks. I hadn’t seen the bag trick yet…thanks so much for sharing that!!
Are you kidding me? …I’m pretty sure that’s all I ever say as a comment, because all your recipes blow me away! I love this.!.
very cute.
These are super cute! Found you on Someday Crafts. Thanks for sharing. I’m “pinning” these.
Thank you for the tip! I create the biggest disaster ever each time I try to frost something and then the sink is full of frosting bags and failed attempts at using Ziploc bags to frost for dayssss. This might just help me!
These are adorable! That frosting bag tip is smart…love it!

These rice crispies looks so cute and delicious! I can definitely see this as a bakesale hit for fundraising at school. And the plastic wrap tip is genius! It’ll save me from having to clean the bag all the time.

What a great frosting tip! Your newest follower, Karima
I love how colorful they are. Visiting from tip junkie
those really are cute! And I keep seeing the frosting idea on line, but seriously that would take away from my “oops got icing on my hand, better lick that” Which I totally don’t do, you know. Much.
You HAVE to share this at the linky party!! See you there!!
