Rice Krispies Recipes

It all must be part of the big Kellogg's master plan...

Creating a cereal that appeals to children is all part and parcel of the business. But create a cereal that, with the wave of Mum's invisible magic wand, becomes a really yummy confection... well, that is a great way of making sure those boxes empty out quickly

Corn flakes, coco pops, rice krispies - all make rather more-ish sweets that even the big kids in all of us love.

For the children, well, what can be more fun than getting all gooey helping your yummy mummy bake.

Here's Kellogg's latest recipe for ankle biters and mums who don't mind cleaning up.

It's their version of putting some snap and crackle into Pop art and promises to be fun fun fun as they have a go at making mum's face.... or better still, dad's face.

All you will need is a box of Kelloggs Rice Krispies and your imagination. But to get you started, why not try raisins for freckles and moles, bootlace sweets for the hair, round dolly mixtures for coloured eyes, and little marshmallows or sliced almonds for big toothy grins.

You will need:
45g butter or margarine
300g (about 40) marshmallows
180g Kelloggs Rice Krispies
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
Assorted sprinkles/sweets/dried fruits/nuts

Put the butter in a large saucepan and melt over a low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until the mixture is completely melted, then remove from the heat. Next add the Rice Krispies and the vanilla and stir until well coated. Shape your mixture however you like to make some great faces. Try cutting out circles with a shape cutter or mug, or get creative with your hands. Decorate the face with whatever you fancy.
