Things to know:
What are some common variations of rice krispies treats?
Common variations of Rice Krispies treats include adding mix-ins like Oreos, peanut butter, or festive sprinkles (Funfetti) to the classic marshmallow mix. Popular elevated versions involve browning the butter for a nutty flavor, creating S’mores, or using chocolate/peanut butter for Scotcheroos. They can also be customized with different cereals.
Who invented rice krispies treats?
Sources say Mildred Day and co-worker, Malitta Jensen, created the Rice Krispies Treat as we know it today. And, that today’s recipe was possibly inspired by an earlier recipe that used puffed wheat and molasses.
When were rice krispies treats invented?
Rice Krispies Treats were invented in 1939 by Kellogg Company employees Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day “in the Kellogg kitchens in Battle Creek, Michigan as a promotional vehicle for the cereal.” Kellogg’s began commercially to produce plain and chocolate-based treats under the trademark brand-names of “Rice Krispies”.
What kind of alcohol is in Baileys?

Why do so many bodybuilders eat Rice Krispies?
Bodybuilders eat Rice Krispies Treats as a pre-workout snack because they are a fast-digesting, high-glycemic carbohydrate source that provides immediate energy (glycogen) to muscles and helps achieve a better “pump”. With a high glycemic index of 87, they act as a quick, easy-to-digest fuel source to boost training performance.
Ingredients
5 T butter
1 (16 oz) package miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup Bailey’s S’mores Liqueur
12 ounces Kellogg’s Rice Krispies
1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup Bailey’s S’mores Liqueur
1. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Place Rice Krispies, graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips in a large heatproof bowl.
3. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and 1/4 cup Bailey’s S’mores Liqueur and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
4. Pour marshmallow mixture over rice cereal and stir. Transfer half of the cereal mixture to prepared baking dish and press down with greased parchment paper.
5. Place chocolate chips in a medium heat-proof bowl. Heat the cream and Bailey’s in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer. (Do not let it come to a rapid boil—that’s too hot!)
6. Pour over chocolate, then let it sit for 2–3 minutes to gently soften the chocolate.
7. With a metal spoon or small silicone spatula, very slowly stir until completely combined and chocolate has melted. If it’s not melting, do not microwave it. (The microwave doesn’t evenly warm cream like the stove does, so I always recommend the stove. If you’re left with chocolate chunks swimming in cream, do not microwave it. Instead, place the mixture into a double boiler OR place the (heat-proof!) glass bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water. Do not let the surface of the simmering water touch the bottom of the glass bowl. Stir the ganache constantly over the indirect heat until it’s smooth.)
8. Pour the ganache over the first layer of the rice krispie treats, then top with the remaining cereal mixture.
9. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes, then cut into squares. ENJOY!
