Happy National Rice Krispies Treats Day! A good friend at work, asked me if I knew that ‘National Rice Krispies Treats Day’ was September 18!  I can take a hint…so I got busy. 

I have to admit, there are lots of National Food Days, sometimes it’s hard to keep up, but this is really an important one, don’t you think? 

Sweet & Salty Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars

Rice Krispies treats were originally called “Puff Wheat Squares.” and the recipe was included in a dessert book written in 1938 by Lucy Maltby,  A Kellogg employee and Campfire Girls troop leader, Mildred Day brought the treats to life. 

 

Her troop sold hundreds of Rice Krispies Treats in a small town in Michigan in 1939 in a fundraiser for the Campfire Girls that would generate a lot of money for their activity programs and camps.

She was successful due not only to the popularity of the Kellogg brand in her area (Battle Creek, MI), but because of Kellogg’s commitment to community.

In 1941, the Kellogg’s company added Ms. Day’s recipe to the back of Rice Krispies cereal box and trademarked the name and recipe for this dessert. You can check out the many recipes by clicking here.
