Rice Krispies

Rice Krispies are a crispy, puffed rice cereal known for their iconic 'snap, crackle, and pop' sounds when milk is added. These light and airy cereal pieces are pale white or slightly tan in color and offer a subtly sweet, toasted rice flavor. They're perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or as a key ingredient in no-bake desserts.
