Rice Krispies Treats HOMESTYLE was inspired by homemade treats and they share more sweetness than usual thanks to extra marshmallows. The comforting treats are 50% bigger than the original treats, inspired by the way people generously cut pieces of crisped rice treats from the pan when they make their own batches at home. Available in original and chocolate flavors, the treats are packaged with wrappers that leave space for a handwritten note to be penned.
Knowing that people are craving comfort more than usual, as well as close contact with friends and family, Kellogg's created the Rice Krispies Treats HOMESTYLE as "a hug you can eat." Since many people will only be seeing loved ones via virtual gatherings this year, these treats share a cozy and homestyle taste "that hearkens the emotions time together creates."
