Cereal Kellogg's company came out with a cereal based on this treat, perhaps making the first cereal based on a dessert that was based on a cereal. Kellog's Rice Krispies Treats cereal briefly surged in popularity, and received a 6 out of 7 rating on popular breakfast critic website Mr. Breakfast [3]. Recently this cereal has become harder to find, though a page on the Kellogg's website can help make finding their rarer cereals easy[4].
