5 STAR RED VELVET RICE KRISPIES TREATS RECIPE
When making a snack for a group, you can't go wrong with rice krispies treats. Add cake mix, you've got a hit at any get-together. Red velvet rice krispies treats, unlike other rice krispies treats, remind me of valentine's day, all wrapped up in a rice krispie treat. It kinda makes me think of my teen years when rice krispies treats were sold at the bake sale, so I guess they've come a long way.
As you probably guessed, red velvet rice krispies treats are made with a decadent rich moist red velvet cake mix and a chocolaty cocoa rice krispies mix. Don't let the red velvet appearance fool ya though. Although the red velvet cake mix does enhance delicious flavor, these treats still are a chocoholics' dream. With all that chocolate, and red velvet, all that you will be able to say, after a bite, is "Happy Valentintine's Day"
Note: You can decrease to 1/4 for milder flavor, or increase to 3/4 for more cake flavor.
