    Why use Kellogg's® Rice Krispies®?

    As the first crisped rice cereal, Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® has been bringing families together in the kitchen for over 80 years.

    To experience the timeless flavor, make your Rice Krispies Treats® squares with the original Rice Krispies® brand cereal.

    Where to buy


1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Stir in food coloring, if desired.

2. Add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.

3. Using 1/2-cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray divide warm cereal mixture into portions. Using buttered hands shape each portion into ball. Cool. Insert wooden stick, if desired. Decorate with coconut, multi-colored sprinkles and/or melted chocolate, if desired. Let stand until firm. Best if served the same day.


MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:
In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.


Note

For best results, use fresh marshmallows.
1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows.
Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.
Store no more than two days at room temperature in airtight container. To freeze, place in single layer on wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

I have a child that is allergic to peanuts, milk and eggs. She is 7 and has NEVER had birthday cake or ice cream, well, REAL birthday cake or ice cream. I use to make a soy ice cream and cake that she could eat but tasted like card board. I am & have always read every label of every item that goes in her mouth. Kellogg's is great for allergy minded parents...when I discovered that she could eat the rice krispies (I use a milk free margarine) I started making her birthday cake from 2 batches of treats in a big pan, I decorate with icing that I make and the other kids tell me they like her birthday cake better than regular birthday cake. I never have left overs....It is great!! She feels like the other kids & the other kids don't mind eating something that she can eat...a win-win situation. I now make all 4 of my children's birthday cakes a Rice Krispies Cake

1. These are SO cute and so perfect for little "Treats" for my son to bring to the kids in his preschool class for Halloween. I'm going to make these for the kids, wrap them up and then cover them with white paper or fabric and make them look like little GHOSTS in honor of Halloween! They will be cute little Ghost Krispie Treats!

2. We like to use Kellogg's Cereal Straws instead of popsicle sticks to hold up our treats. That way, your fingers don't get sticky while you eat, and you can eat the stick, too.
