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

3. Cool slightly. Using buttered hands shape mixture into twelve small drumsticks.

4. Spread peanut butter on large end of each drumstick, then dip in KELLOGG'S COCOA KRISPIES cereal. Refrigerate until firm. Best if served the same day.

MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:

I have to confess that tonite is the first time in many years that I actually made these. I used to let my ex-husband do it with the kids but tonite they wanted mom so here I am glued to them the bowl and the pan. No bit deal they had a blast doing it and I have to say so did I.

1. I brought a batch of these to my family's Thanksgiving dinner inside a chicken takeout bucket. Everyone thought it was a really cute idea. And there weren't any left at the end of the night!

2. Loved this idea, but instead of rolling them in the cocoa krispies, we dipped ours in choc., they were great..
