Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treats

This recipe has been touring the internet lately from various sources. So far I've seen people basically using 1/3 cup of white cake batter added into the marshmallow/butter mix before stirring in the krispies. Sounds tasty!

I think it might be equally fun to used flavored cake batters as well. Strawberry, Chocolate, Lemon.

It might be even more awesome to top a layer of lemon krispy bars with strawberry krispy bars. You could even add a dab of strawberry jam to the mix for added color.

Go to it! Create fun krispies!

Fudgy oatmeal bars

My Grandma used to make these all the time. They're soooo good!

• 1 cup butter -- divided
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 can (14 ounce ea) sweetened condensed milk -- (not evaporated milk)
• 2 cups hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup sliced blue diamond almonds -- divided
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

Heat oven to 350°F. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the butter. Beat the remaining butter in large bowl on medium to high speed of mixer for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir together flour and baking soda in another large bowl; stir in oats. Gradually stir flour mixture into beaten mixture. Set aside.

Combine reserved 2 tablespoons butter, the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in medium saucepan. Cook over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of the almonds and 2 teaspoons vanilla.

Press two-thirds (about 3 1/3 cups) of the oat mixture onto the bottom of ungreased 15 1/2x10 1/2x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Spread chocolate mixture over the oat mixture. Using your fingers, dot remaining oat mixture over the chocolate. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup almonds.

Bake about 25 minutes or until top is lightly browned (chocolate mixture will still look moist). Cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 2x1-inch bars.
