Recipe of the Week - Cereal Treats

Over the past two weeks there has been some really great cereal sales.  Traditional cereal treats are made out of rice krispies but using different kinds of cereal can be just as fun!  Here is the original recipe according to Kelloggs.

Cereal Treats

3 Tbs of Butter

1 10 ounce bag of Marshmallows

6 C cereal 

Microwave the butter and marshmallows for 1 minute and stir. Then microwave in 30 second intervals until all marshmallows are melted. 

Add in your favorite cereal add stir.  Don't be afraid to mix in more then one cereal for an even yummier snack.

Try using cookie cutters to mold them into shapes.

Cool them in the fridge for best results.

This week at Shoprite Rice Krispies are on sale for $1.99 along with Froot Loops.  There is a digital coupon at Shoprite for $2 off any two boxes of Kelloggs cereal.  Use this with a $1 off two boxes printable coupon from Kelloggs and you get two boxes for $1 or $0.50 a box.  Last week Kix and Trix cereal was on sale for $1.88.  There were digital coupons and paper coupons available for those as well.  Kix ended up being free with Shoprite paying you $0.38 and the Trix ended up being $0.38 a box.  Marshmallows are $1.50 a bag and butter was $1 last week or $2 this week with coupons.  Anyway you decide to do it these treats are fun for the kids to makes and eat for a low price.  Lets say $0.50 for a box of cereal (most likely less!), $0.25 for butter, and $1.50 for marshmallows makes it only $2.25 for a fun treat to make and eat!
