Ricicles is a breakfast cereal sold by Kellogg's in the United Kingdom. It is essentially the same as Kellogg's Rice Krispies (also sold in the United Kingdom), but with the addition of a frosted sugar coating.

Ricicles' mascot is the astronaut 'Captain Rik', who replaced Henry's Cat in the 1980s.

In the 1990s in the United Kingdom and some other markets, small marshmallow pieces were added to the cereal.^{[citation needed]} This met with mixed but generally unpopular reception.^{[citation needed]} A while after the change, 'original' Ricicles (the cereal in its original non-marshmallow form) was sold alongside the new version; however, the marshmallow version was generally unpopular enough for it to quietly disappear from the shelves after a couple of years.^{[citation needed]}
