Hey, baby. Can I get a little sugar with that cereal? For every dessert fan’s inner Jerry Seinfeld, our friends at cupcake blog Cupcakes Take the Cake have compiled a list of cereal-themed cupcakes, including the above Rice Krispies treat that Ashley Weber, a.k.a. Miss Cupcake, created for an Iron Cupcake Milwaukee challenge (the necessary ingredient for that month’s throw-down: cereal, obviously). See Weber’s recipe after the jump, in case you’d like to make your own snacks go snap, crackle and pop!

1/2 tsp salt
1tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter milk
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup Rice Krispies
2 jars Marshmallow Fluff
