    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.

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!
