Where Were Rice Krispie Treats Invented
Rice Krispie Treats were invented in 1939 by Mildred Day at the Kellogg Company test kitchens in Battle Creek.
The recipe was created as a fundraising treat for Camp Fire Girls, using Rice Krispies cereal, melted marshmallows and butter to make an easy no-bake dessert.
The simple recipe quickly became popular across the United States and Kellogg later printed it on cereal boxes, helping turn Rice Krispie Treats into one of the most recognizable homemade desserts.
