    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. Stir together KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal, flour, salt, soda and spices. Set aside.

2. In electric mixer bowl, beat together brown sugar and margarine on medium speed until thoroughly combined. Add applesauce, molasses and egg whites. Beat on low until smooth. Add cereal mixture, mixing until combined. Drop by level tablespoon into sugar and roll to coat. Place on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Press with bottom of measuring cup dipped in sugar to 2 1/4-inches in diameter.

4. Bake at 375°F about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks. Store in airtight container.

My daughter absolutely loves rice krispie treats. However, I am concerned about an ingredient that I just found. Apparently they contain high fructose corn syrup. I had never looked at the ingredients before, but now that I have, I want all mothers everywhere to be aware of this ingredient. I'm trying to see if I can get Kellogg to substitute with something healthier.
