Cereal Treat Sunday-The Classics

September 26, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 4 Comments

Today we are sticking with the classics, the cereal treats that I assume most people know about, but if you don’t, you must. These three recipes are favorites that have been around a while because let’s face it, they rock!

Rice Krispies Treats
(btw I have been spelling that wrong for years! Who knew it was Krispies?)

Ooey gooey marshmallowy crunch, is it possible? Yes, yes it is!

Chex Muddy Buddies


Chocolate and peanut butter smothered in sugar, hand it over please!

Golden Grahams Indoor S’mores

No campfire needed for these babies!

All three recipes are a delight to the taste buds and will conquer the crave for crunch.

Cereal Treat Sunday-Mint Chocolate Crunch

September 19, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 6 Comments

This yummy cereal treat mixes three of my favorite things: mint, chocolate and crunch. My pregnant tummy is in love with mint and these totally hit the spot. They are so easy to make and seemed to be a real crowd pleaser at our recent GNO.

I originally found this recipe on Creations by Kara who makes so many delectable things, plus I just love her! I could not find a bag of Andes mints so I changed the recipe just slightly.

  • 1 rectangle package Andes mints
  • 12oz chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)
  • 2 cups Rice Crispies cereal
  • 1/2 package of Oreos, crushed

Melt mints and chocolate chips in a large glass bowl in the microwave at 50% power, stirring often. Add the Rice Crispies and Oreos and stir till combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let sit until hardened.

I put mine in the fridge to speed up setting and keep them from melting to nothing during their stint in the car during GNO dinner. I liked them room temp and straight from the fridge. Well, as you can see I didn’t even wait for them to set up before testing the mint chocolate crunch goodness. How could I resist?

If you have a favorite cereal treat, leave a link in the comments or send the recipe to me by email (tipsyblog@gmail.com) and maybe you will get featured.

Cereal Treat Sunday-Chocolate Chex Caramel Corn Bars

September 12, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 1 Comment

So, this week’s recipe is straight from the source. I found it on the Chex website a few months back when I was looking for something to do with the new Chocolate Chex. It totally rocks! I love the mix of sweet and salty and well we are big fans of popcorn at my house so that’s just an added bonus.

Chocolate Chex Caramel Corn Bars

Ingredients

4 cups popped light butter-flavor microwave popcorn
4 cups Chocolate Chexยฎ cereal
1 cup pretzel sticks, coarsely broken
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1. Butter bottom and sides of 13×9-inch pan. Remove unpopped kernels from popped popcorn. In large bowl, mix popcorn, cereal and pretzels; set aside.
2. Microwave brown sugar, corn syrup and butter uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes or until boiling, stirring after 1 minute. Microwave 30 seconds longer; stir. Pour over cereal mixture in bowl, stirring until evenly coated. Press firmly in pan.

Cereal Treat Sunday-Cheerio Treats

September 5, 2010 By Michelle Barneck 9 Comments

Welcome to the second installment of Cereal Treat Sunday. This week we are making Cheerio Treats. I wish they had a better, more creative name. Peanut Buttery Piles of O’s, okay, that’s horrible, let’s stick with Cheerio Treats.

We are starting out with some super simple cereal treats for those who may be beginners in the cereal treat arena. ๐Ÿ˜‰ This one is nearly fool proof with only 5 ingredients.

Warning: If you have a peanut allergy steer clear of this one!

Cheerio Treats

1 Cup Corn Syrup
1 Cup Sugar
Cook in sauce pan until boiling. Then allow to boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Then add:
1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Blend until peanut butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour over 5 cups Cheerios and mix until well coated. Drop by spoonfuls on to wax paper and let cool.

*Insider’s tip: to measure sticky items like corn syrup and peanut butter easily, coat the measuring cup with a little cooking spray before using.

Voila, you are a Cheerio treat chef. Now go enjoy your peanut buttery piles of O’s and we’ll see you next week for another episode of Cereal Treat Sunday!
