When life gives you
marshmallows….make cereal bars!
For those of you that
know me well you understand that getting me to eat breakfast is a challenge.
Reasons are as
follows:
- I would much rather sleep an extra 15 minutes than spend that time eating breakfast.
- I’m just not that hungry in the morning.
- I eat cereal for a lot of meals so it’s not super appealing for breakfast.
- I am broke as a joke so I try to focus my grocery allowance on lunch and dinner.
- I’m just overall not that interested in breakfast…obviously.
So while wandering around my apartment today I came across a
box of cheerios that my mom brought me from home. Note: my mom came to visit me
in June (I think) so it’s been awhile. I also noticed the stash of marshmallows I've had lying around for quite some time now. Why I had so many marshmallows I
have no idea. But the awareness of these two objects led me to a brilliant
idea! Rice Crispy Treats … except with Cheerios! A stick of butter, box of
cheerios, a bag of marshmallows, and a ½ tablespoon of coconut oil later I
discovered Cheerio Cereal bars! In case you were wondering I added the coconut
oil because it is a natural energy source and very tasty as well!
Anyways, this morning I only had to get out of bed about 15
seconds earlier than normal to grab a cereal bar before I headed out to face
the day! The new motivation I have found for breakfast is crazy. I mean
honestly who wouldn't want to eat a Cheerio crispy treat for breakfast?
Recipe:
About 2/3 a box of
cheerios
¼ stick butter
1 bag marshmallows
½ tablespoon coconut
oil
Follow the same
instructions you would if you were making Rice Crispy Treats J
