Rice Krispies cereal
A puffed rice breakfast cereal, best known outside the cereal bowl as the base of Rice Krispies treats, bound together with melted marshmallow and butter.
Used for
- Rice Krispies treats
- breakfast
- no-bake desserts
In the kitchen
- Fold in warm marshmallow mixture while still soft.
- Press firmly into a pan for treats.
- Measure by volume, not weight. It's mostly air.
Picking it at the store
- Generic 'crisp rice cereal' store brands work identically to the name brand for treats. No need to pay more.
- Slightly stale cereal actually works fine for treats since it gets bound together anyway.
