The fact remains that that Kellogg's had mass produced anything and everything they can throw their name on, including Rice Krispies Treats, which now can be bought in a handy box of eight individually wrapped snacks. There are the originals, chocolate chip, and chocolate and peanut butter ones. Gag me. Who wants that shit. The best ones come from someone's kitchen!
The original recipe and instructions, as per Snap, Crackle and Pop:
3 Tablespoons of Margarine 1 Package (10oz. or about 40) Regular Marshmallows or... 4 Cups Miniature Marshmallows 6 Cups Kellogg's® RICE KRISPIES® Cereal 1. Melt it! Melt margarine in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. 2. Mix it! Add Kellogg's® RICE KRISPIES® Cereal. Stir until well coated. 3. Spread it! Using buttered spatula or waxes paper, press mixture evenly into 13x9x2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cut into 2x2-inch squares when cool. Yield: 24 squares Notes: Use fresh marshmallows for best results Do not use diet or reduced fat margarine And I'm not even going to bother mentioning the microwave instructions... It's shameful.
I haven't done the math, but I suspect you can make a whole pan full with Rice Krispies and marshmallows for what it costs to buy a single Treat.
The treats come in a variety of flavors, including those with chocolate and caramel, but I must say, the original are still the best.
And so, without further ado, the ingredients for The Original. (These are not something I'd eat after reading the ingredients, so I have quite willfully blanked my memory of what is in them so as not to curb my enjoyment.)
