    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 4-quart saucepan, combine honey and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to boil. Continue cooking and stirring 1 minute longer. Remove from heat.

2. Stir peanut butter, raisins and mixed fruit into hot mixture. Add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal and mix until cereal is coated. Press evenly into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2 1/4 x 1 1/2-inch bars. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

My daughter absolutely loves rice krispie treats. However, I am concerned about an ingredient that I just found. Apparently they contain high fructose corn syrup. I had never looked at the ingredients before, but now that I have, I want all mothers everywhere to be aware of this ingredient. I'm trying to see if I can get Kellogg to substitute with something healthier.
