This is the recipe that originally was on the back of their cereal box. This classic treat is always a favorite with children and a crowd-pleaser. My children loved this recipe when they were young.
Kellogg's®
Rice Krispies Treats® were invented in the 1930s. Iowa State
University of Science and Technology officially credits the
development of Rice Krispies Treats to Mildred Day, who died
in June 1996 at the age of 92. She worked for the Kellogg
Company and used the cereal to develop the snack as a
fundraiser for a Camp Fire Girls fundraiser.
The recipe was
first published in 1941 and has been such a success that
Kellogg's has been selling a pre-made version of Rice
Krispies Treats for the last ten years.
