HISTORY OF RICE KRISPIE CEREAL

Rice krispie treats are not only delicious, but also have a fascinating history. The cereal itself, Rice Krispies, was invented by the Kellogg Company in 1928 and became famous for its “snap, crackle and pop” sounds when milk was added. The cereal was also marketed by three elf-like characters named Snap, Crackle and Pop, who first appeared in ads and posters in 1933. The original rice krispie treats recipe was created by two women, Mildred Day and Malitta Jensen, who worked for the Kellogg Company’s home economics department in the 1930s. They mixed melted marshmallows with Rice Krispies and cut them into bars. The treats were a hit at a Camp Fire Girls fundraiser and soon became popular across the country. Since then, rice krispie treats have been enjoyed by generations of families and have inspired countless variations and flavors.

ARE KELLOGG’S RICE KRISPIES GLUTEN-FREE?

No, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies treats are not gluten-free. They are made with Rice Krispies cereal, which contains malt syrup derived from barley. Barley is a grain that naturally contains gluten and should be avoided by people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, there are some gluten-free alternatives to Rice Krispies treats available from other brands or you can make your own using gluten-free rice cereal and marshmallows.
