CRISPY CEREAL TREATS



Crispy Cereal Treats image

For a no-bake treat just right for lunchboxes or after school, try this fun twist on a childhood favorite that goes beyond the usual "Snap, Crackle, and Pop" blueprint and plays with other great combinations found in the cereal aisle. Each of the four variations uses the same marshmallow base-whether you want to use the mix-ins to take it in a chocolatey, tropical, or fruity direction is entirely up to you!

One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the cereal and 1 cup each of the crushed strawberries and bananas. Stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape up the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer. Scatter the remaining crushed fruit on top and press into the top (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.

Crispy Baked Cereal Chicken image

This is a great recipe for those that like the crispiness of fried chicken, but don't want all of the greasiness!

Provided by AggieAnna

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Baked and Roasted     Oven Fried

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex®)
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt
1 egg
1 ½ cups milk
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
  • Place the cereal in a large plastic zipper bag and crush the cereal into crumbs. Add the garlic salt and seasoned salt; shake the mixture together in the bag to combine. Pour the cereal crumb mixture out into a shallow bowl.
  • In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Dip each chicken breast half into the milk mixture, then into the crumb mixture, coating the chicken well with crumbs. Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cereal coating is golden brown, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CEREAL TREATS I



Cereal Treats I image

This version has no chocolate topping, but it would be easy to melt chocolate chips and spread them over the top. We have a nut allergy in our family and I omit the peanut butter and substitute 1/2 cup of butterscotch chips melted with the margarine instead.
