Delicious Cheerios Recipes for Your Unwanted Box - Try Them Now!

[raebates]

I have a friend who has a large, nearly full box of Cheerios. Neither she nor her husband are fans of the cereal, so she was looking for cookie recipes that might use them. She figured she'd use them up making cookie for The Furry Guy. She found one. It used only 4 cups of the Cheerios (didn't even make a dent in the box), and she didn't care for them. Anyone have something tried and true?

TIA!

She can do them as marshmallow treats, just like you would with Rice Krispies.

That's basically what the recipe she tried was. It's also the first thing I suggested to her. LOL! Great minds think alike, Keith.

This is not a cookie, but a snack mix. We make it every Christmas. It's highly addictive. If your friend is trying to use up Cheerios, then just don't use the Chex cereal, and up the qty. of the Cheerios. It's sooooo yummy!http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/White-Chocolate-Snack-Mix/Detail.aspx

Nope. It was a friend whose adult daughter and her family (husband, teenager, pre-teen, and two big dogs) lived with my friend and her husband for about 3 months and left a great big, nearly-full box of Cheerios along with a lot of mess and stress behind. Becky, I'll be sure to share that with her.

I got cheerios on sale last week and we have used them up by melting 3 blocks of almond bark in a bowl and then pouring in cheerios and craisins (nuts and pretzels would be good too) and then after mixing stirring in mini marshmallows. I let them set up on parchment paper in the freezer. They are really good, I like them better than the rice crispy recipe from PC a few holidays back.

Oh, yes, my MIL makes this every year at Christmas. I love love love it...everyone else says they aren't crazy about it, but I know I don't eat that whole huge container of it alone!!!! (MIL never made a small amount of anything in her life, lol!)

So, they breezed in, caused a lot of commotion, then said, "Cheerio!"?They sound like a band of cereal roomers.

If they didn't pay up or didn't work, then they'd be idle roomers. And if they got into a lot of fights, they'd be vicious roomers.
