Rice Krispies : Puffing Rice Methods

So, I know puffed rice is different from commercially popped rice such as the rice crispies cereal. But has anyone played around with the best method to make rice for Rice Krispies from scratch?

I have made puffed rice before by frying it directly in oil at 400 degrees Fahrenheit but I've never used it in anything savory. I have also only done this with black rice which was then used as a sort of crouton for salad. Has anyone tried this method for sweet treats like rice krispies? I'm concerned it may retain an oily flavor or may not stay as fresh as long if fried for something like rice krispy treats.

I've read about cooking rice, then letting it dry completely, then either puffing it in a hot pan such as a wok or in the oven but haven't tested that out yet. Anyone have experience with this?

I'm moving to a country that doesn't have rice krispies available and want to be able to make rice crispy treats completely from scratch once there.

If not I may just try out every method I can find and post results here if anyone would be interested.
