What it is

The most common way to enjoy Rice Krispies is by pouring them into a bowl and adding cold milk. The cereal's crispness is best preserved when served immediately after adding milk. For making treats, the cereal is typically combined with melted marshmallows and butter. This mixture is then pressed into a pan and allowed to set. It can also be used as a crunchy coating for certain baked goods or as a base for no-bake desserts.

How to keep the rest
