Well one Red, White & Blue holiday has gotten away from me. I always feel like I am playing catch up. From holidays to photography skills, sometimes this blogging life can get the best of me. Again I am late to the game but I could not let this easy Red, White & Blue Krispy Treat “Bundt Cake” fall between the cracks and not share this with you all.
I love Instagram and lately I have found a lot of inspiration there. I came across a fun Krispy Treat Bundt cake and knew I could recreate it. This Red, White & Blue Krispy Treat “Bundt Cake” is a combination of your favorite marshmallow crispy treat, candy coated chocolate peanut & plain candies, covered with a melted candy drizzle.
You will want to use an old fashioned Bundt Cake pan one that is metal. The silicon cake pans wont hold up to the crispy treat mixture, you have to press it into the pan. Its a little messy to make but so worth it!I dropped a few of the candy coated chocolate peanut candies in the bottom of the pan so they would be on the top of the “cake.” I also dropped a few along the sides of the pan as I was packing the warm crispy treat into the pan so they would show up on the outside of the “cake.” They “peek” through the chocolate drizzle!! So yummy!
I ended up taking it to Mr. Pinkcakeplate’s work and one of his coworkers had 4 slices of the Red, White & Blue Krispy Treat “Bundt Cake”. It is that good!
I can’t tell you what a hit this treat was and other than getting sticky hands its really really easy to make! Oh yes one more tip spray the inside of the bundt pan with cooking spray and when you pack the treat into the pan spray your hands too it will make it easier to handle.

Hi Laura, I’m Lise from Mom Loves Baking. I love this cake! I just happened to see it on my Pinterest feed. I have a very similar cake on my site called Patriotic Rice Krispies Cake. Did I by any chance inspire you? I would be so honored! If not, then great minds think alike! 🙂
Lise, I love your cake! I was actually inspired by a post on Instagram!Great minds totally think alike!!
The cake looks so good and delicious. My BF just gives a bundt pan as present. Seems like I have a reason to use it now.
