[edit] Recipe

I removed this recipe from the article as I believed it wasn't encyclapedic fare but if anyones intrested or wants to put this somewhere else here it is.

The recipe:

3 tablespoons butter

40 large marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows

6 cups rice krispies cereal

1. Melt butter in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows. Continually stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

2. Add rice krispies cereal. Fold until well coated.

3. Pour mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan lined with waxed paper.

4. Lay another piece of waxed paper on top of mixture and press into pan with your hands or a small ramekin. Cut into 2-inch squares when cool. Deathawk 22:21, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• I have no idea about licensing, but perhaps put it up on wikcommons and link to it from here? --Arran4 07:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nutrition Facts

How about nutrition facts? Are they generally considered non-encyclopedic in nature?

[edit] Cereal

what about that actual krispies treats cereal they produced for a while? It was damn good, though every 16th piece or so would be rock hard.

That cereal rocked. But in fact I think it's still going, I had some about a year ago *does research* Blahmicho 00:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed, it's still out there. Got some info on it, I'm goanna put a new section in the article. Blahmicho 00:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, enw section made. Feel free to reword it, but all the informations correct and referenced. Blahmicho 00:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Overdosing

Hey, I was reading this article and I thought it sounded strange that 'in 1998 a man called Dave overdosed on rice krispie treats.' Can anybody verify this for me? Thanks. HB4026 08:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conflicting Information

There seems to be a debate over who actually invented the rice krispie treats. The Kellog's website mentions a Mary Barber inventing them in 1939. But the Rice Krispies wiki page says that a Kellog's employee named Mildred Day concocted and published the recipe in 1941. 68.48.57.75 (talk) 05:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baron Von Krispie

Someone had put in some pretty obvious joke text referring to Baron Von Krispie and the "Bavarian Rice Krispie Purity Law", which I have removed. It was funny, but not appropriate for an article intended to be factual. 118.90.39.0 (talk) 08:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
