Krispies treat

Krispies Treats are a classic American dessert that has been around for decades. The original recipe was created by Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day in 1939, and was published in a church cookbook. The recipe was later adapted by the Kellogg Company and has been a favorite ever since.

Krispies Treats are made with rice cereal, marshmallows, and butter. The cereal is mixed with the marshmallows and butter, and then formed into balls or bars. The treats can be enjoyed as is, or they can be dipped in chocolate or other coatings.

Over the years, there have been many variations of Krispies Treats recipes. Some recipes call for adding peanut butter, chocolate chips, or other flavorings to the mix. Others use different types of marshmallows, such as mini marshmallows or flavored marshmallows.
