Howe do they make rice krispies?

I have never worked in a cereal manufacturing company, so this information is second hand.

Here is the list of ingredients:  http://www.kelloggs.co.uk/products/product.asp?id=49

You take Rice, Sugar, Salt, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Barley Malt Flavouring, Niacin, Iron, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, mix it up and then shape it into something resembling grains of rice.  Then you bake it in an oven at a high temperature and it pops sort of like popcorn does.  The water that is inside the grains quickly vaporizes at the high temperature and makes the thin walled bubbles that are part of the structure of the Rice Krispies and these bubbles make that distinctive snap, crackle, pop when you pour on the milk.

Well, I have tried to make them before and they did not turn out right because I did not want to put all the butter the recipe calls for in them.

Here is the recipe from the Kelloggs website:

mmm I want some now...lol

[Callaway]

I had really bad nausea and vomiting when I was pregnant with my daughter.  All the home remedies of crackers, flat ginger ale, etc, did not help at all and I couldn't keep anything down.  I lost 15 pounds and the doctor finally gave me medicine to keep me from vomiting all the time.  When I was finally able to eat, at first I wanted only mangoes.  After a while, I wanted Rice Krispies treats, but only if they were made without butter or margarine.  They do not look like the picture if you don't follow the recipe, but I liked them like that.

I've made my own ice cream, with eggs in it and real vanilla. It tasted really good. 

Your secret's out of the closet.
