      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 COCOA KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.
    3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. 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.

    comments-2302. We just got back from a camping trip and had extra marshmallows and Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bars from making S'mores. I made some Cocoa Krispie treats to use up the marshmallows, and decided to throw in 2 regular-sized special dark bars when the marshmallows were almost completely melted. These were the best cocoa krispie treats I've ever had. Enjoy!

    comments-15571353720121807. The recipe my mom has (from a 1960's era package) calls for 2/3 cup of peanut butter and 2 cups of choc chips. Melt those over double boiler, then mix in 6 cups Cocoa Krispies. Put in cool place and then cut into 1x1 squares. Voila! Enjoy!
