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

  Where to buy

  

1. Place banana pieces on foil-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until needed.  2. In shallow dish combine KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal and fruit. Set aside.

3. With adult help, in small saucepan melt candy coating according to package directions. Remove from heat. Pour into another shallow dish.

4. Remove bananas from freezer and insert an ice-cream stick into cut end of each banana piece. Dip banana halves into melted candy coating, letting excess drip off. Roll in cereal mixture until evenly coated. Return to baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes. Transfer to airtight container. Freeze for 2 hours to 1 week. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Kid-friendly Kitchen Tips:
Children of all ages should have an adult assistant with them at all times when cooking.
1. The youngest chefs, 3 to 6 years old, will be very good at inserting the ice cream stick into the banana halves and they will love to crush the Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal.
2. Older chefs, ages 7 to 9, can use a table knife to cut the banana in half and they will enjoy "dipping" the bananas into the melted candy coating too.
3. Kids, older than 9 years, may stir the candy coating on the cook top or help prepare it for the microwave and may also help read directions to the younger kids.
