Our take on the Kellogg's Rice Krispies Original Breakfast Cereal

Kellogg's Rice Krispies is a toasted puffed-rice cereal that snaps, crackles and pops in milk. It is made from four simple ingredients, is fat free, has no artificial colors or flavors, and supplies eight vitamins and minerals. The plain, lightly sweet flavor suits kids and adults who want a quick, mild breakfast or a base for Rice Krispies Treats. Against frosted or honey-coated puffed-rice cereals it is the plainer choice, and against whole-grain flakes it offers less fiber. Buyers rate it highly for taste and versatility.
