      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. Cool slightly. Using buttered hands shape mixture into twelve small drumsticks.

    4. Spread peanut butter on large end of each drumstick, then dip in KELLOGG'S COCOA KRISPIES cereal. Refrigerate until firm. 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 thru 4 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 single layer on wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

    comments-11. I brought a batch of these to my family's Thanksgiving dinner inside a chicken takeout bucket. Everyone thought it was a really cute idea. And there weren't any left at the end of the night!
