Cupcake Party {the snacks}

For Michelle's 11th birthday party she had cupcake decorating party!

For snacks ideas I went straight to pinterest!

I found lots of yummy treats.

Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

{recipe from Six Sister's Stuff}

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp. butter

1 (10 oz.) bag of mini-marshmallows

1/3 cup Funfetti cake mix (you could also use yellow cake mix) 

6 cups crispy rice cereal

1 (1.75 oz.) container of sprinkles

1.  Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. 

2.  Stir until they begin to melt, adding in (dry) cake mix one spoonful at a time so its combined. 

3.  Stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture.

 Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and mix. 

4.  Press into a baking dish (any size will do) and top with remaining sprinkles.

5.  Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting.

Chex Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies

{recipe from Six Sister's Stuff}

Ingredients:

5 cups Chex cereal (I used Rice Chex, but Corn Chex would work great!)

10 oz (5 squares) vanilla flavored Almond Bark

1 1/2 cups Funfetti cake mix (any kind of cake mix would work)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vegetable shortening

Directions:

1. Melt Almond Bark according to the package directions, adding vegetable shortening to thin (I heard that you can make it without the shortening, but it worked great for me to use it).

2. Pour the cereal into a large bowl and drizzle the melted Almond Bark over the cereal. Mix gently with a large spoon or spatula.

3. Dump the cake mix and powdered sugar onto the cereal and mix gently with large spoon until all the cereal is evenly coated.
