    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. Stir in food coloring (if desired).  Remove from heat. 

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

3. Using butter spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray.  Cool slightly.  Using cookie cutters coated with cooking spray cut into desired shapes.  Decorate with frosting and/or candies.  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.

As a primary school teacher I would seek out the Rice Krispies Treats advertisements in the monthly magazines, especially at holiday times, and use the recipes for lessons involving all their multiple intelligences : reading, writing, math, artistic, tactile, and gustatory...great FUN and LEARNING was had by all. Wish I had known about this site sooner! What a great resource for teachers!
