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.

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.
