As a kid, I ate what seems to be thousands of rice krispie treats. Because they are so easy to make, we learned to make them by ourselves pretty early on. Between my brother and I, we could easily go through a batch in an afternoon! We eventually discovered the art of putting M&M’s in with the cereal – oh, my! They went from good, to AMAZING! Have I ever mentioned that M&M’s are my favorite candy?
What kind of M&M’s are used in this rice krispie cake?
I use white chocolate M&M’s that are typically found with the Easter candy. However, you can use any type of M&M’s you prefer.
You can also go with one color of M&M’s, or substitute jelly beans, which are readily available all year long, regardless of season.
Where can I find candy melts?
Candy melts can be found at most craft and discount stores (like Walmart) and come in a wide variety of colors. I chose yellow, turquoise and pink for a fun, spring themed palate.

Yes! Because the candy melts come is a wide variety of colors, you can customize the color combination. This krispie cake would be great for a kids birthday party or celebration, a fun classroom treat using the school colors or even a tailgate party featuring your favorite teams colors!

This Spring Krispie Cake is perfect for a spring celebration, a post-Easter egg hunt treat, a cute treat for a classroom celebration, or any other time you’re looking for a fun and pretty snack. It would also be perfect for a birthday party, Mother’s Day or any celebration.

This rice krispie cake recipe is easy to make. If you can make rice krispie treats, you can make this! Its basically just your regular rice krispie treat recipe, adding some M&M’s and preparing in a bundt pan.
How do I make sure the rice krispie cake doesn’t stick to the pan?
Make sure you use non-stick spray to coat the inside of the Bundt pan before adding the rice krispie mixture. I also find it helpful to lightly spray your hands when pressing the rice krispie mixture into the pan.
What is the best way to cut this rice krispie cake?
I found the best knife to use is a medium-sized serrated knife. It will cut through the cake easily and leave clean, uniform slices.

This is so pretty and spring like. If you’re not having a party but want to give a couple people a nice treat – I’m thinking about making this in mini-Bundt pans. That way you could give each person their own little cake. Sounds delish and the pastel colors dripping down the sides makes it so attractive!
Thanks for posting
