    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 food processor bowl process KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal until fine. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and margarine. Process about 30 seconds or until mixture resembles coarse meal. Place mixture in large mixing bowl and stir in ginger. Add egg whites and flavoring to cereal mixture. Stir together until all dry ingredients are combined. (Mixture will be very stiff.)

2. Place half of dough on lightly floured surface and shape into 8-inch long rolls. Place on baking sheet coated with cooking spray and flatten into 8 x 3-inch rectangle. Repeat with remaining half of dough.

3. Bake at 300° F about 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Place baking  sheet on wire rack to cool 10 minutes. Cut each rectangle diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Place cut side down on baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes longer or until golden brown and crisp. Do not turn. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in airtight container.

Yield: 2 dozen + 2

It's been years since I've made Rice Krispies Treats, but I have fond memories of them. I remember they were kind of messy to make, but that didn't matter because they taste so good. We'd melt milk chocolate, pour it on top and stick them in the fridge for the chocolate to harden. I stopped making them after our three kids moved out of state. But they and their families (including my eight grandchildren) are gathering next summer for vacation. So I think it may be time to make Rice Krispies Treats again.
