    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 peanut butter.

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

3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into twelve 3-inch squares.

4. Top six of the cereal squares with ice cream. Place remaining squares on top. Cut each in half, making twelve 3 x 1 1/2-inch sandwiches. Individually wrap in plastic wrap. Store in airtight container in freezer for up to 6 weeks.



MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:
In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Add peanut butter, stirring until melted. Follow steps 2 thru 4 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.



Note

For best results, use fresh marshmallows.

Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.

Kellogg's has reduced the sodium content of Rice Krispies to meet current consumer flavor- and nutrition-preferences. Rice Krispies Treats made with the lower sodium cereal taste great without any added salt, but, if you desire, add 1/8 teaspoon salt to the butter before melting. Continue with recipe as directed.

My grandmother made Rice Krispies Treats ice cream sandwiches back in the '70s when I was just a kid. She kept them in a deep freezer out in the garage. She was a frail little lady, but she would reach way down to pull out those Rice Krispies Treats ice cream sandwiches for us grandkids. I remember how each of them was individually wrapped in tin foil, and how cold those silver cubes were as she placed them in our hands. They were such a treat!

1. I made these ice cream sandwiches lower in calories by using frozen yogurt, and my kids never suspected a thing!
