Rice Krispies are low in fat and free from artificial sweeteners and colors. However, they have added sugar, no fiber, and they score high on the glycemic index. This means Rice Krispies may spike your blood-sugar levels. Personally, I stopped eating Rice Krispies to help clear my acne. Other than the Gelatin used to make Rice Krispies, we wanted to take a look at the ingredients to make sure there’s nothing else that may cause Rice Krispies to be non-halal. Are The Ingredients Used To Make Rice Krispies Halal?

If nutrition didn’t matter at all, I’d probably eat Rice Krispies every day. I love it, and I had a few months when I ate it with peanut butter and soy milk constantly (don’t judge me). But today, we’re taking a closer look at the health side. Are Rice Krispies actually good for you? We were not too concerned about them not having a halal certification because many foods sold in the US are not halal certified (because the company has not invested in obtaining a halal certification) but the ingredients they use are halal by nature. A good example of this would be OREOs. If you find that Rice Krispie cereal bars are too high in sugar and you are looking for a low syn alternative, we've got you covered with our list below.

The chart below lays out some possibilities of ways to build your own flavor of marshmallow treat! This is not a comprehensive list, but it can give you some ideas of flavors to use! Note: I find it easiest to add the cereal into the pan with your melted marshmallow mixture, but if your pan isn’t big enough you can pour the marshmallow into a bowl with your cereal to mix. Step 3: Fold in Mix-Ins (optional) Make sure you don’t press the mixture down too firmly. I typically use an oiled offset spatula or you can grease your hands a bit and press down with your hands. But compacting the cereal too much will make the treats really firm and dry. Step 5: Let Cool & Slice Let’s start by discussing what Rice Krispies are actually made of. The ingredients list for the cereal itself is quite simple. I’ll share my analysis below: Rice Krispies have added sugar. One of the big differences between Rice Krispies and plain rice (or “puffed rice” cereal) is that Rice Krispies have sugar. Of course, this sugar is processed, high-glycemic, and adds more empty calories. We’ll cover more about the sugar content of Rice Krispies below.Rice Krispies have 4 grams of sugar per serving (1 1/2 cups or 40g). This is twice the sugar of Cheerios, and around the same amount as Corn Flakes or Special K. Rice Krispies have only one-third of the sugar found in Frosted Flakes or Froot Loops. But there’s more to the story… As carbs like rice are digested in your body, they turn into sugars, too. This is why diabetics and others with blood-sugar issues often monitor their total carb consumption—not just “sugar.” Rice Krispies are free of artificial sweeteners and colors. There are no controversial artificial ingredients being added to Rice Krispies like “ red 40” or “ sucralose.” By itself, a few servings of Rice Krispies will not make or break your weight loss diet, though. Weight loss depends on your overall diet and lifestyle.
