Once the school year starts, the contents of our cupboards change a bit. Quick and easy breakfasts and snacks become a priority both for my boys and for me personally! And this year, Kellogg’s Canada has some great treats both for the lunchbox and for at home that are sure to please kids and adults alike!

My boys’ personal favourite is the new Kellogg’s Brown Rice Rice Krispies Squares. Made with puffed brown rice, these squares boast eight grams of whole grain per serving, yet still have the classic flavour that kids love. They’re perfect for an after-the-sandwich snack in the lunchbox! [Read more…]

Rice Krispies #TreatsforToys are a Fun Way to Give a Merry Christmas to a Child in Need

One of my favourite activities every Christmas is making holiday treats with my boys. There are some goodies that I whip up myself, but there are others that my boys help me create. We all love spending quality time together and of course, Zackary and Benjamin get very excited about eating their creations afterwards!

This year we added a new item to our usual list of goodies, and it’s one that supports a very special cause! We headed into the kitchen to create special Rice Krispies edible toys for the Treats for Toys campaign. By taking a picture of a treat and uploading it to ricekrispies.ca, Rice Krispies will donate $20 to the Salvation Army to provide a toy to a child in need this Christmas!

Rice Krispies has created some fabulous instructions for creating different treats, so my boys and I decided to test them out ourselves. We started out with the basic Rice Krispies Squares original recipe: [Read more…]

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Make Fun and Easy Halloween Treats

October 30, 2012 by Kathryn 9 Comments

Halloween is one of my very favourite holidays and each year I look forward to finding new fun activities for my boys and me to enjoy. This year, Kellogg’s decided to give us a little help with a fun Halloween-themed Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats kit! Containing Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, marshmallows, Halloween cookie cutters and decorating supplies, it was the perfect way to get in the mood for some spooky fun!

I made the squares while Zackary was at school and then let both boys decorate a pumpkin and a bat with the icing and candies that the kit contained. Of course, they went a little overboard; Zackary’s shapes were hard to see underneath the candy he’d piled on top! But both boys had so much fun that I just let them enjoy themselves. After all, Halloween only comes once a year! [Read more…]
