Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats

This recipe and picture came from {sally's baking addiction} blog
http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/03/25/cake-batter-rice-krispie-treats/

I made these treats today while my grandson was here.  I let him lick the spoon and he said "these a re great grandpa. I want some more"  SO I cut him another piece and sent some home with him to share with his family.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp butter (i use land o lake light butter)
• 1 (10 oz.) bag of marshmallows
• 2/3 cup boxed yellow or white cake mix (the dry cake mix)
• 6 cups rice krispie cereal
• 1/2 cup sprinkles

Instructions

1. Spray a 11×7 baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
3. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly. Once the marshmallows are completely melted, stir in the dry cake mix. Turn off the stove.
4. Stir in the cereal until it is completely coated with the marshmallow mixture. Mix in half of the sprinkles. Press into prepared baking pan and top with the remaining sprinkles. (When I press rice krispie treats into a pan, I use a spatula sprayed with nonstick spray, making it easier to press down)
5. Chill for at least 30 minutes and cut into squares.

Lemony Lemon Brownies

This recipe comes from the following blog: https://sites.google.com/site/beckycharms/cakies/lemony-lemon-brownies  Made them last night and they were a hit.

The "Brownie" Batter

3/4 cup all-purpose flour {King Arthur All-Purpose Flour}

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt {Sea Salt}

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Tart Lemon Glaze

1 rounded cup powdered sugar

4 tablespoon lemon juice

8 teaspoons lemon zest

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease/Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter/cooking spray and set aside.

Zest and juice two small/large lemons; set aside. {whatever you have}

In the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Pour into baking dish and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before glazing. Do not overbake, or the bars will be dry. {even with the yummy glaze}

When brownies are cooled completely, make the glaze...sift the powdered sugar, add lemon zest and juice, and whisk together all three ingredients. Spread 1/2 the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula. Let glaze set. Spread the remaining glaze over the bars, and let it set. This glaze does not harden like most. Cut into bars, and serve!
