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)

Nutrition Facts

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

--Jimbojw 12:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I would imagine nutrition facts would be considered non-encyclopedic -- especially considering that serving size, contents, and the nutrition facts of the component parts are likely to change over time. 71.77.9.200 (talk) 05:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

History

Who invented rice crispy treats? When is the first published account of said ambrosia? Funkyj 02:27, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

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)

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)

The wiki page cites an article which seems to mention the creation of Rice Krispie treats only in passing. As the article itself is not focused around the origins of the Treat and the corporate source for the Treat cited in the Mildred Day version I updated the wiki to point to the information as officially distributed by Kellogg's. I figure that if their employee invented it under both origin stories, their information is most likely accurate. 71.77.9.200 (talk) 05:44, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

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)

Sachima?

Is there any particular reason this page links to Sachima, or vice-versa?--MythicFox (talk) 13:01, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

No, removed from both. They could feasibly be in the same category, or different sub-divisions of one, but are certainly not similar enough to be "See also" cousins. Deiz talk 09:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)it originates from austrailia and germany

Move?

Shouldn't this article be titled "Rice Krispies treat"? That's how Kellogg spells it on the list of Rice Krispies products and the official recipe. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 00:37, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

A week and a half later, I boldly go. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 15:55, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Tyler Day?=

The text explains Mildred Day, creator of rice krispies as Tyler Day's grandmother. I dont see how this is relevant, as as far as I know, Tyler Day isnt famous. --MADaboutforests 23:29, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

• It was vandalism. I've since removed it. Tyler Day was probably either the editor who made the change or a friend. -Platypus Man | Talk 05:22, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone else call them Rice KrispIE Treats? (Even tough that's not the "Official" name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.235.156.23 (talk) 16:49, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Rice crispies treats cereal

I added the section about rice crispies treats back, after a 3 year absence. The person who removed it apparently thought it should be on the rice crispies cereal page. BUT since the cereal is based off of the treats, and is now much harder to find than in the 90's, I see no reason why it can't be mentioned on both pages. Besides, there is literally no information about it on the rice crispies article, other than listing it's name. SO I am adding this section back for now, and hopefully will be able to post info about this forgotten cereal on either page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.250.155 (talk) 02:16, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
