    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 combine caramels and half-and-half. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes or until smooth. Remove from heat.

2. Stir in vanilla. 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. Using cookie cutters coated with cooking spray cut into helmet shapes. Decorate with frosting and/or candies. Best if served the same day.


MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: In microwave-safe bowl heat caramels and half-and-half on high for 3 minutes, stirring every minute. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.

Note:

Store no more than two days at room temperature in airtight container.

My mom is legendary for her Rice Krispies Treats. She has many varieties, but my favorite is her Rice Krispies and Cocoa Krispies mix. At every Christmas dinner, where four generations of family get together, they are always hunting down her treats. Family members even bring their own Tupperware to hide a stash. In preparation for these dinners, I would always try to get her to leave some of the mixture on the spoon so I could eat it while it was warm. But she would scrub the spoon so well! I have taken over her recipes and, when I have children, I will do the same with them and carry on the family tradition.
