Cake Batter Rice Krispy Treats

In 2013 I am in search of a lot of things.  My house wines, you know your go to wines that you always have in the house and you give out as hostess gifts.  You can follow my quest on Instagram and/or Facebook, or try the ones I like in the Wine and Bubbly tab above.  I'm also in search of our perfect family stationary, the kind that I can stock up on when its on sale and use for years to come.  As a young woman I work with said, I'm working on my brand.  So, it is only fitting that I'm also in search of my signature baked good.  The recipe that is my "go to" recipe whenever I need to bring a dessert to a party, a cookie exchange, etc.  So, my goal?  52 baked goods in 52 weeks.  Here is the first recipe - they are good, but definitely not my "signature" baked good.  I actually think these will be good for future birthday parties, what if you did a HUGE rice krispy treat bar?
