    To experience the timeless flavor, make your Rice Krispies Treats® squares with the original Rice Krispies® brand cereal.

    Where to buy


1. Mix together sausage and KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Portion and
shape into 1-inch meatballs. Brown meatballs in 12-inch skillet. Drain and set
aside.

2. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Add enough water to juice to measure 2 cups.

3. In 3-quart saucepan, mix together brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in juice,
soy sauce and vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture
boils and thickens. Reduce heat and add meatballs. Cover and simmer for
15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pineapple chunks and green pepper.
Simmer 3 minutes longer or until hot. Serve with cocktail picks.

Yield: 3 dozen (36) meatballs

My son has never been one for ice cream, chocolate or candy. He has always loved Rice Kirspy Treats though. After many years of making my peanut butter version of this tasty treat, my son moved away to college. A month passed by and I often offered to bake him cookies or some other tempting treat. He finally asked me one day "You know, Mom, all I would really love to have is some of those delicious Rice Krispy Treats you used to make. Well, I made a double-batch and took them to him the next weekend. You would think he had won the lottery. When I asked him if he was going to share them with his roommates, his reply was "if they're lucky" I might offer them one. It's nice to know that after 18 years he still loves them. It started with the ones premade from the box to my own version of this time-tested recipe. Thanks for making my son's life a "little sweeter". Signed, A Grateful Mom
