    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 2-inch round cookie cutter coated with cooking spray cut into circles. Decorate with frosting to make baseballs and soccer balls. 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.

My favorite thing to make with rice krispie treats is to shape them into a hershey kiss and wrap them in foil, twisted on top of course. Fill a buttered funnel to get the basic shape then write a love note or tidbit for your sweet heart or child, stick to side of kiss and wrap with foil. My kids and husband each got one for Valentines Day.

1. I june I made this treat for my son's year end soccer party, it was definately a hit.. it went over better then the cakes that the other moms brought. (and the moms liked this one too... now i have an idea of what to use for my sons birthday considering he doesnt like cake anyway.)
