    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 mixing bowl beat peanut butter and butter on medium speed until combined. Add powdered sugar and milk. Beat until fluffy. Stir in KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal, mixing until thoroughly combined. Press mixture evenly into 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate until firm.

2. Drizzle chocolate over cereal mixture. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until chocolate is set and cereal mixture is firm. Cut into bars. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Yield: 24 bars

I recently bought a box of Rice Krispies with Strawberries and gave them to my daughter, Lacey, for breakfast one morning. She had never had Rice Krispies (outside of having a Rice Krispies Treat, of course) so as I poured her a bowl I said, "You know, this cereal talks." Her eyes got really big and she put her head down by the bowl. She looked up at me and said, "Are you fibbing?" It was fun watching that moment as her mom. It's just one of those foods that brings back memories.

1.  1 Way u can make those yummy pb rk is u don't have to use Milk, or powder sugar u can still use the pb , and butter but u can add marshmellos and put it in a long pan and put it all in the oven until the marshmellows and pb melt just a little and have them a little warm so so good.

2. One very yummy modification is to exchange the milk and powdered sugar for 1 cup of honey and then use all regular Rice Krispies (no coco). Mmmm Mmmm! I used this for a desert potluck and put it into a 9x13 pan instead of 8x8 to get more pieces which were thinner instead of the huge chunky ones you get with an 8x8 pan. More to go around :)
