I decided to try Gluten Free Rice Krispies. I am a HUGE fan of regular Rice Krispies so I was interested to see how I would like the Gluten Free version. I am sad to say that I am NOT a fan of the Gluten Free version. They did not have the same taste or consistency at all. I am going to have to give Gluten Free Rice Krispies two thumbs down for breakfast cereal.
However, I didn't want the box to go to waste so I decided to make Gluten Free Rice Krispie Treats with them and was THRILLED that neither my son or I could tell the difference! So I would not use them for breakfast but I would use them to make treats!

I've made this recipe in the past, did not like it at all 🙁 I love rice krispie treats but when made with the gf krispies they tasted stale to me. I much prefer to make same recipe and substitute the cereal with gf Rice Chex (crunched up by hand a little before adding marshmallows), very yummy!

I think they have reformulated them, I didn't mind them as a treat but not a fan with milk for sure.
