Crunchy Cheese Sandwiches. This recipe is from a classic 1976 ad for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. The ad promotes it as “a hot cheesy sandwich with a crunchy coat – for lunch.” But I think it’s probably more suited for breakfast as it’s essentially an unusual French toast dish. As per most stuffed French toast recipes, a sandwich is made and it’s then dredged through an egg and milk mixture. Then it’s fried or baked. It’s just that in this case it’s filled with cheese and coated with Rice Krispies. At any rate, take the ad’s advice and don’t let your Rice Krispies sit in your cupboard. Try this unique dish for any meal or even a snack.
The Origins of Rice Krispies
Rice Krispies were first introduced by Kellogg’s in 1928. Made from crisped rice, they quickly became popular due to their unique texture and sound when combined with milk. The cereal’s signature “snap, crackle, and pop” became a defining characteristic, and in 1933, Kellogg’s introduced the famous trio of animated characters bearing these names to represent the product in advertisements.

In 1939, two Kellogg’s employees, Mildred Day and Malitta Jensen, developed the now-famous Rice Krispies Treats. By combining the cereal with melted marshmallows and butter, they created a sweet and chewy snack that was easy to make and universally loved. Over the decades, this simple yet irresistible treat has become a go-to recipe for bake sales, family gatherings, and holiday festivities.
Why Rice Krispies Stand the Test of Time
Rice Krispies’ enduring popularity can be attributed to their versatility and nostalgic appeal. As a cereal, they are light, airy, and subtly sweet, making them a comforting breakfast choice. As an ingredient, they add texture to everything from desserts to savory dishes.
Additionally, Rice Krispies Treats continue to inspire creativity in the kitchen. Variations using chocolate, peanut butter, sprinkles, or different cereals keep the treat fresh and exciting for each new generation.
