But, if you don\u2019t have an imagination like mine, they look\u00a0tasty.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, if you\u2019re expecting them to taste like birthday cake and cookies \u2019n\u2019 creme, I\u2019m going to snap, crackle, and pop your dreams because they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Kelloggs-Birthday-Cake-Rice-Krispies-Treats.jpg?resize=550%2C563&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Birthday Cake Rice Krispies Treats\" title=\"Kellogg's Birthday Cake Rice Krispies Treats.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"563\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The underside of the Birthday Cake Rice Krispies Treat is dipped in a white confection and topped with a sugary drizzle and colorful sprinkles that add a crunchy texture to the party. Having consumed\u00a0a number of artificially flavored birthday cake snacks that equal the years I\u2019ve been alive, this doesn\u2019t have that familiar flavor. It doesn\u2019t taste like yellow cake with frosting. It doesn\u2019t taste like chocolate cake with frosting. It\u2019s basically a sweeter Rice Krispies Treat with sprinkles.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Kelloggs-Cookies-n-Creme-and-Rice-Krispies-Treats.jpg?resize=599%2C463&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Cookies  n Creme and  Rice Krispies Treats\" title=\"Kellogg's Cookies 'n' Creme and  Rice Krispies Treats.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"463\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cookies \u2019n\u2019 Creme also has\u00a0a white confection bottom and a sugary drizzle, but comes\u00a0topped with something that looks similar to\u00a0chocolate cookie bits. I\u2019m not sure they\u2019re actual cookie crumbs because they seem to have a texture that\u2019s more like sprinkles than cookies. The rectangle treat has a whisper of cocoa flavor, but it doesn\u2019t scream cookies \u2019n\u2019 cream like its appearance does. It tastes like\u00a0a normal\u00a0Rice Krispies Treat with several rogue Cocoa Krispies.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, we saw Kellogg\u2019s Rice Krispies Treats jump on <a href=https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2017\/09\/21\/review-limited-edition-pumpkin-pie-rice-krispies-treats><\/a>the pumpkin pie bandwagon.\u00a0While it didn\u2019t have a strong flavor, it\u00a0didn&#8217;t taste like a regular Rice Krispies Treat either. I was hoping for, at least, the same result with these, but it didn\u2019t happen. That&#8217;s disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>Even though there&#8217;s nothing on the boxes to indicate this, these are for the Valentine\u2019s season. But the wrapper around each crispy marshmallow bar has a heart shaped white space with the words \u201cSo much to love about\u2014\u201c printed on it.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for doing that, Kellogg\u2019s! It allows me to use the wrapper to show how I feel about Birthday Cake and Cookie \u2019n\u2019 Creme Rice Krispies Treats.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Kelloggs-Cookies-n-Creme-and-Birthday-Cake-Rice-Krispies-Treats-4.jpg?resize=599%2C429&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Cookies  n Creme and Birthday Cake Rice Krispies Treats 4\" title=\"Kellogg's Cookies 'n' Creme and Birthday Cake Rice Krispies Treats 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclosure:<\/strong> I received free samples of these from Kellogg&#8217;s, but that\u00a0didn&#8217;t influence my review in any way.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 bar &#8211; <b>Birthday Cake<\/b> &#8211; 90 calories, 3 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 85 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 9 grams of sugar, and less than 1 gram of protein. <b>Cookies &#8216;n&#8217; Creme<\/b> &#8211; 100 calories, 3 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 90 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 8 grams of sugar, and less than 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> FREE<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 10.9 oz. box\/14 bars<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Received from Kellogg&#8217;s<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10 (Birthday Cake)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10 (Cookies &#8216;n&#8217; Creme)<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> They look tasty.
