    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. On cutting board unroll dough into one rectangle. Sprinkle carrot and 1/4 cup of the KELLOGG’S RICE KRISPIES cereal on top. Use fingers to lightly press cereal into dough. Using pizza cutter or sharp knife separate dough into 8 triangles along perforation lines.

2. Place remaining 3/4 cup cereal in shallow dish. Place one frankfurter on wide end of each triangle. Roll up. Roll in cereal, coating outside of dough with cereal. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375º F for 22 to 24 minutes or until dough is golden brown. Serve with ketchup and mustard.

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! :)
