Rice Krispies Treats for Toys

During this holiday season, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal is encouraging families to turn delicious treats into toys for children in need across Canada. For every original photo of a Rice Krispies treat uploaded to RiceKrispies.ca, Kellogg will make a donation of $20 to The Salvation Army, up to a maximum of $30,000. The Salvation Army will use this donation to buy toys for children in need across Canada this holiday season.

Using supplies we had received in our Rice Krispies Treats for Toys kit, our family took some time over the weekend to make a toy-shaped treat using the Kellogg’s Rice Krispies squares recipe. We selected the car-shaped toy from the five new Rice Krispies recipes available on RiceKrispies.ca, since my son loves cars like crazy. Plus, it was much easier to build than the Rice Krispies 'gingerbread' house we had attempted last year. My son helped out by counting out 40 large marshmallows...

Gingerbread House Using Kellogg's Rice Krispies

Kelloggers Network

As a member of the Kelloggers Network, I was sent a couple of boxes of Rice Krispies and decorations to create some festive edibles such as ornaments. I decided to try something different and attempted a gingerbread house of sorts. As you can see, the structural stability of said house remains questionable. In hindsight, I should have allowed the roof to harden a bit more before placing on the walls of the house. The lack of architectural planning resulted in immediate consumption, ~~much to my dismay~~.

'Twas the Night Before Halloween

Goldfish Moments

'Twas the night before Halloween, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The decorations were hung with a malevolent sneer
In hopes that trick-or-treating soon would be here.

The children have tried on their masks and their threads,
While visions of candy danced in their heads.
And papa in pj's, and I in old sweats,
Had just settled our brains and cooled off our jets.

When all of a sudden I shuddered with fear.
Did I buy any chocolates or candy? Oh, dear!
Away to the kitchen I flew like the wind,
Tore open the cupboards and happily grinned.

Join the Kellogg's Share Your Breakfast Movement

#ShareYourBreakfast

This Thursday, March 8, Kellogg's is celebrating National Breakfast Day by partnering with Breakfast Clubs of Canada and Breakfast for Learning. Together, they are launching the Share Your Breakfast program with the aim of encouraging Canadians to help children who go without breakfast.

It should come as no surprise that eating a healthy breakfast can help kids boost their performance at school. It can help improve behaviour, reduce absences and tardiness, and increase focus and physical performance. But did you know that 1 in 10 Canadian children live in poverty and are likely to go start the day on empty stomach?

As part of the Share Your Breakfast movement, Kellogg's will be surprising Canadians across the country with free mini-packs of Kellogg's Rice Krispies to help raise awareness about our nation's hungry children. They will also be donating to their National Breakfast Day charity partners. So what does this mean? A bowl for you equals a bowl for a hungry child.

How can you help? Pick up a specialty marked box of Kellogg's cereal in-store, visit breakfast charities directly to make your own donation, tweet your support using the hashtag #shareyourbreakfast or visit www.kelloggs.ca/SYB to learn more.
