    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 12-inch fry pan, over medium heat, saute squash and onions in 2 tablespoons
of the margarine, just until crisp-tender. Remove from heat. Carefully fold in chilies,
flour, salt and pepper. Place in 12 x 7 1/2 x 2-inch (2-qt.) glass baking dish, coated
with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with Monterey Jack cheese.

2. Combine cottage cheese, egg and parsley. Spread evenly over Monterey Jack
cheese.

3. Bake at 400° F for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons
margarine and combine with KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal and Parmesan
cheese. Sprinkle top with cereal mixture. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes
longer or until cereal browns. Serve hot.

I have a favorite memory of making Rice Krispies Treats with my family. My mom, sister and I would make a big batch of treats (we always used extra marshmallows!) and before we could even get them out of the bowl, my dad and brother would try to eat them all. The treats were never able to make it into a pan, much less cool, before they were devoured. Then we'd all laugh about our sticky hands, faces and kitchen.
