You caught me.  I love those little bowls of frosted goodness.  I can’t blame it on the little one… it’s me.  I would like to come up with something to make with them just so I have an excuse to have more in the house.  Please help me out.

In my family, we actually make a mini cornflake wreath at Christmas time.  You make it like rice krispies, but throw cornflakes in the melted marshmallows which have some green food coloring added.  Then we very quickly form little wreaths out of the gooey flakes and stick on little cinnamon candies.  They’re really cute and wonderfully delicious.  I’m wondering if the frosted flakes would do something funny to the recipe, or if they would just be sweeter?

Seeing as they are sweet, I know it probably wouldn’t work to use them crushed up for a coating for fish or chicken, like you can do with regular cornflakes.  But, I wonder if there is a dessert bar or cookie recipe that could use frosted flakes for the crunchy part. 

I’m just looking for a few ideas to help support my Frosted Flakes habit.  Anything you can share will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

If you’ve got kids in the house, you know about filling high-chair trays with Cheerios.  This is the perfect “keep them busy” snack for toddlers.  Their little fingers just stay so busy trying to pick up those yummy treats!

You have probably even played with one of the Cheerios books; pages filled with Cheerios-inspired interactive pictures.  Cheerios for the wheels on a truck, Cheerios as innertubes floating in the pool, and on and on.  The fun never ends.  So, when you reach the end of the book, what can you make with all those Cheerios?

We usually buy boxes and boxes at a time.  At some point, the children grow up, you don’t go through as many Cheerios as you used to, and now there are boxes piled in the pantry that aren’t getting eaten… or played with.  Is there anything you can make out of Cheerios?

I’m thinking there has to be a sweet snack of some sort.  Perhaps mixed with cashews and other crunchy goodies.  A trail mix?  How about a Cheerios form of Rice Krispy Treats, if that’s even possible. 

This may truly be a silly request, trying to make use out of a surplus of Cheerios, but I don’t think it’s unusual.  Silly I accept.  I welcome your help!

One of my daughter’s favorite cereal is fruit loops, so I usually have at least one box of this colorful cereal sitting in the pantry. After looking at it every day, I’ve been wondering if there are any recipes out there to make things with fruit loops. We’ve used it for crafts (fruit loops make cute necklaces), and as colorful and sweet decorations on iced cupcakes.

I’ve been thinking about crushing some up and making a pie crust (similar to a graham cracker crust) out of them, but haven’t tried it it. With some pudding filling and a few more fruit loops sprinkled on top, that might make a fun kiddie dessert.

My friend was just telling me that she makes her French toast with Rice Krispies. She said it’s just heavenly.

Here’s what she does -

She dips the bread into the regular egg & milk mixture, then dips it into crushed rice krispies.

Then, she fries the bread like normal French toast. I’ve got to try this. Sounds great!

So, what do you make with Rice Krispies Cereal?

I could have sworn a long time ago that I saw a recipe for Raisin Bran cereal muffins. Anyone bake with Raisin Bran cereal?

If so, please tell me your favorite recipes and ideas for using Raisin Bran.
