Why use Kellogg's® Rice Krispies®?
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.
2. With adult help, in large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and strawberry extract.
3. Add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated
4. Evenly divide warm mixture into prepared cupcake molds. Using buttered hands, gently press into molds, leaving tops slightly rounded.
5. Decorate with frosting, sprinkles and/or candies. Serve immediately or store uncovered in refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Remove from refrigerator one hour before serving.
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.
Kid-friendly Kitchen Tips:
Children of all ages should have an adult assistant with them at all times when cooking.
1. Chefs, 7 and older, will try their hand at mixing the melted marshmallows and Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal together.
2. Younger chefs will have fun "patting" their treats into the muffin cups.
3. Everyone will enjoy frosting and decorating the cupcakes.
My kids are great fans of these delicious treats. I'm a baker and I work at home. I'm always trying to think of new ideas to delight the senses. One night I made a couple of batches of these treats and I cooled them off in a slanted edge pan. I love a beautiful presentation so I cut up perfect shaped treats. With 5 wonderful taste testers at home nothing is wasted. My kids woke up the next morning and pilled up into (the kitchen) one of their favorite places. Immidiately they saw the goodies. Wanting to devour them all, I made them into as many 1" squares I could get. They looked so cute. Ahhh... what a great way to get a little breakfast. I put a square on a brochette, then a strawbery, another square, a slice of banana, and another square. What better to go with this then a big glass of cold milk. I have snack day on monday for my sons faith formation class. I'm taking them these treats dipped in chocolate! :)
