Rice Krispie treat
A Rice Krispies treat (or Rice Krispie bar) is a sweet dessert or snack made from Rice Krispies, melted margarine or butter and melted marshmallows. Sometimes marshmallows and/or cereal that is seasonal is used to make these treats holiday specific. They are often deliciously homemade, but one can find them in many stores usually packaged under the Rice Krispies brand. Rice Krispie treats were invented in 1939 by Mildred Day and the staff at the Kellogg Company home economics department.[1] There are many variations to the treat; adding caramel instead of marshmallows, adding condensed milk to the mixture before adding the rice krispies, using corn syrup and peanut butter, adding chocolate chips, nuts, flavoring agents, and others. One variation is to use chocolate instead of marshmallows which is known as "Chocolate Crackles". Kellogg's has now produced commercial varieties of both the marshmallow and chocolate-based treats under the name of "Rice Krispies Squares". [] See also[] References
