Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats and cookies

I got the original recipe from this post on pinterest, and made some changes, as usual.
Funfetti Rice Crispy Treats
My ingredients:
3 TBSP butter
10.5 oz. mini marshmallows
6 cups puffed brown rice
1/3 cup Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix

Directions:

Melt butter on low in a heavy duty sauce pan.
Add marshmallows, stirring until almost melted.
Add cake mix a bit at a time to ensure it mixes well.
Stir in puffed rice until well blended.
Press into baking dish, sprinkle with sprinkles if desired.
Wait at least 30 minutes to cut, using a knife sprayed with cooking spray.


Yields about 18 (2"x 3") servings, at 105 calories per serving.

These don't taste like regular rice crispy treats. The taste improves as they sit longer, so don't eat any while still warm! Of course you can use regular rice crispies instead of puffed brown rice, but my version is a little healthier and less processed.

And with the rest of the cake mix, I did as suggested in the original pin, with one minor change.

Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies

The remaining cake mix from above recipe
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs

Mix all ingredients until well blended.
Roll into 1" balls and place on cookie sheet about 2" apart
Bake on 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Tops should be cracked, and sides golden when finished. Let cool for about a minute before moving to cooling rack.

Yields about 28 cookies at 109 calories per cookie.

These are very tasty, with a nice soft texture!

Thanks for reading,
