I recently posed a question on facebook.

“I just made a really fun cake!! One of the main ingredients is marshmallow… any guesses on what it is??? (There may be a prize involved…)”

Rice krispy cake

Three of you guessed correctly.

And one of you will win a copy of Sweet Confections!

What did they guess??  What kind of cake did I make that has marshmallow as a main ingredient?

A Rice Crispy Cake!

With a surprise inside of course!

A pumpkin inside rice crispy cake with chocolate buttercream frosting!

So easy.

So fun.

And everyone’s face lit up with delight when they saw it.

Such a great way to make your loved ones smile!

Oh… and the winner of the book is Carla Smith!  Shoot me an email Carla and we’ll get that fabulous book in the mail to you. (Let me know if you try the pumpkin caramels!)

Thanks for playing everyone!

Share with your friends!

  2. Have you by any chance tried making this with the Kraft Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows? I haven’t made this cake,yet,but did make rice crispy bars with them, plus I added 2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice to the melted butter. Just makes an added “yum” to the flavor.

  3. SO funny you mention that! I actually bought them with that exact purpose in mind, but ended up not using them. Maybe for the next cake! 🙂

  5. Best rice crispy cake I’ve seen so far! I love your surprises inside but would have never guessed this surprise even with you calling it pumpkin. I was thinking you somehow flavored the marshmallow part with pumpkin! Maybe I’ll have to try that…

  6. Such a fun cake! This should be on the front of the box of Rice Krispies right beside Snap, Crackle & Pop and the recipe on the back. I’ll bet sales of the cereal go through the roof.
