Kellogg's Rice Krispies
by Ellieczy I love breakfast, it's my favourite meal of the day. I try to have a different cereal every morning and one of my favourites is Rice Krispies. At first you think they are pretty dull, interesting and might lack flavour- that thought is wrong, they are delicious and fun! They come in a bright blue box in either 340g ... or 510g and in some supermarkets a 700g box which sells for around £3.67. The smallest box sells for around £1.99 and the 510g box for £2.68. But very often on offer at reduced prices. The cereal is fortified with B vitamins and iron and is suitable for vegetarians. There is nutritional information on the side of the box. The box is brightly coloured so that is appeals to children, but i'm an adult and it appeals to me too. It makes it stand out on the shelf. Rice Krispies are small puffed grains of rice and they famously snap, crackle and pop (and they really do) If you leave them in milk for a while then like all cereal they lose there structure and become soggy, but still taste good! They are light to taste and dont taste overally sweet as they dont contain an awful lot of sugar! The nutritional information per 20g serving (which doesn't include values for milk) Calories: 76 Sugars: 2g Fat: 0.2g Saturates: Trace Salt: 0.3g The only negative I would say is that these are not suitable for coeliacs, you think they would be being rice! If you want gluten free rice krispies then you will need to buy supermarket own brand version or go across to America and buy kelloggs gluten free rice krispies! What I also like to do with rice krispies is that they are great for baking with! Kids love to make marshmallow square or easter nests! There are lots of recipes available on their website.

Kellogg's Rice Krispies
by greenpomme Most people will have heard of Rice Krispies by now, after all they have been around for over 80 years. Made by the famous Kellogg's company, Rice Krispies are simply pieces of rice that have been cooked, dried and toasted. This process causes them to puff up and become hollow, in turn making them crispy. When milk is added to the cereal ... it causes the Krispies to break down which creates snapping, crackling and popping sounds. Based upon this effect are the cartoon characters named Snap, Crackle and Pop, who feature on the cereal boxes, adverts and such. When it comes to cereal I kind of go through phases of having none for weeks to eating it a couple of times a day. I rarely eat cereal in the morning, but often end up eating a bowl or two in the evening and these are a favourite of mine. To me, Rice Krispies are one of the staples of the cereal world, along with the likes of Corn Flakes. They're not the most flavourful of cereals, but they are a good reliable cereal which has been around a long time and that most people are familiar with. It's hard to describe the taste of Rice Krispies, which is probably due to the fact that I don't actually think they have much taste. I find them quite bland, but at the same time, there's something about them that lures me in. I do tend to get bored of these easily as there is not much going on flavour wise. For this reason, I like to have a bowl of part these, part another cereal, just to make them a little more interesting. Aside from being eaten in a bowl as cereal, Rice Krispies can be used to make a number of different treats. One of the first things I remember making with mum when little was chocolate Krispie cakes. They're really simple for kids to make. It was the other day after attempting to make breakfast bars with Krispies that I decided to review them. They didn't quite go according to plan and I found out after that there are quite a few nice, simple looking recipes on their website (http://www.kelloggs.co.uk/whatson/ricekrispies/). Nutritionally, I do not feel guilty about eating these and feel that they are relatively good for you as they are high in complex carbs for slow energy release. As with most cereals aimed at kids, they do contain a certain amount of sugar, but they also have added vitamins and minerals. At 115 calories per 30g serving they seem to be around an average level compared with other cereals. Despite saying that these are somewhat flavourless, I still rate them highly and I think what I mean is that this is a no frills cereal. You get what you see, no chocolate coating/frosting/honey. It's a stripped back cereal that I really enjoy and would recommend. Read the complete review |

Kellogg's Rice Krispies
by simba57 Kelloggs Rice Krispies are one of my favourite breakfast cereals. Although I don't particularly enjoy breakfast I always eat something and have tried many different cereals in order to get the day off to a good start. After all breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day. Kelloggs are famous for making ... breakfast cereals and have been around for years so you can be sure that they are of high standard. Each Rice Krispie is made from a single grain of rice. Rice Krispies are a pale golden colour with little bubbles in them. When you pour the milk on them, they make the 'snap crackle and pop' sound that we are so the familiar with from the advertising campaigns. This makes them particularly appealing to children who put their ears to the bowl to listen eagerly for the sound. Rice Krispies come in a large blue box with cartoon pictures of the characters Snap Crackle and Pop listening to a bowl of Rice Krispies making the popping sound. It is a very childlike picture so appealing to children directly or to parents buying it for their children. On the back of the pack is a recipe for making Krispie Choco-Chip Popsicles. My box was 450g and stated that it contained 15 30g servings and is suitable for vegetarians. The cardboard box is recyclable so it is good for the environment. Inside the box is a white plastic bag containing the Rice Krispies. This should be folded over after opening to keep the cereals fresh and stop them becoming soft. I use a clothes peg to seal mine up. Ingredients As well as rice they contain Sugar, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Barley Malt Flavouring, Salt, Niacin, Iron, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid and Vitamin B12. A bowlful is 115 calories which is 6% of your daily calorie allowance. Rice Krispies are low in fat containing only 1g of fat (2.5g if using semi-skimmed milk) per 30g serving. I like Rice Krispies because it is a light breakfast cereal that is both crunchy and satisfying. I don't like too much milk with mine and find that it is best to eat the bowlful quite quickly because if you let the milk soak in for too long the Rice Krispies become rather soggy. I think they are certainly sweet enough and certainly don't need any sugar added to them. I also enjoy making Krispie cakes by stirring a cupful of Rice Krispies into a bowl of melted chocolate. Lovely! Although the advertising is geared towards children they are equally suitable for adults too especially as they are low in fat. Rice Krispies can be eaten at any time of day and I enjoy a bowl in the evenings too so they are not just for breakfast times. You can buy Rice Krispies at any supermarket. I bought mine on special offer and paid £1.48 for 450g. Read the complete review |
