    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. 

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


3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper, evenly press mixture into 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool slightly. Using cookie cutters coated with cooking spray cut into desired shapes. Decorate as locket with frosting and/or candies. Attach licorice strings for locket chains. 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 layers separated by wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

As we approached the holidays last year, I began to realize that time and circumstance was not going to allow me to do my usual holiday baking. While my son and I both are trying to lose weight, it just seemed wrong not to have SOME treats for the holidays. So when a family member dropped off a couple of big boxes of Rice Crispies, I called my 12 year old son from work and told him we would make some treats together. He responded enthusiastically, but then admitted sheepishly that he had already opened a box and had a big bowl. I responded that I didn't even know he liked them! Since then, I have learned that having Rice Crispies available in the mornings is one of the easiest ways to lure that boy out of bed for school! Who knew!
