We all have it, I’m sure. Little bits of leftover cereal sitting around in boxes, going stale. No one’s going to eat it. I tried mixing the various bits of leftovers at one point and the girls looked at me quite strangely when I tried to get them to eat it one morning. And they’re normally good eaters…but they’re not big cold cereal fans, hence we periodically try something and then it sits.
But today I found a way to use it up. On one of my cooking lists, someone mentioned making Rice Krispie treats and subbing up to 1/4 of the Rice Krispies with leftover cereal. I added some leftover stale Kix to chocolate chip cookies tonight. A big hit!
