The first complaint of the day was "Mom, we don't have ANY cereal!" At that, I pulled 4 boxes of cereal out of the pantry. Yes, they were each almost empty. There wasn't a bowlful in one box. Fortunately, we have an overflow shelf and there was more cereal. Problem solved! But what to do with all that "extra" cereal?
Today, instead of grumbling and throwing away the extra little bit at the bottom of each box, I emptied them into one bowl and it turned out to be enough to make something akin to the rice krispie treat. I looked up recipes for rice krispie treats and found one with marshmallows, butter, honey and peanut butter so I melted all those things together along with a little chocolate and coated the cereal. Then, I pressed it into a small greased dish and put it in the fridge. At snack time, we had this delicious snack. I didn't think to take a picture till after we had devoured the big squares. How do you put a price on this snack? We have cereal that would have been thrown away and marshmallows that were given to me. Manna for my family?
