    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. Combine sweet potatoes, 4 tablespoons of the margarine, salt and spices. Beat until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of the marshmallows. Spread in 10 x 6 x 2-inch (1 1/2-quart) glass baking dish coated with cooking spray, or individual dishes. Top with remaining marshmallows.

2. Melt remaining margarine. Combine with KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal and brown sugar. Sprinkle over marshmallows.

3. Bake at 350° F about 20 minutes or until hot and cereal is golden brown. Serve hot.

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.
