3158.0. "Snacks/Cheerio's" by WMOIS::BOHNET_B () Fri Jul 26 1991 15:32

    Cheerio's
    About 10+ years ago, the father for a former girlfriend of my sons made
    a snack food which had a base of Cheerio's, a carmel type glaze, and
    mixed nuts.  It had a sweetish flavor, which reminded me somewhat of
    cracker jacks.
    
    I have tried with NO..... success to guess what he did to make this. 
    Unfortunately, I no longer know how to get in touch with this family
    and would like to make this for my grandchildren.
    
    Anyone out there is Cooks note land have any suggestions.

3158.1Chocolate covered Cheerio clustersSALEM::RUSSOFri Jul 26 1991 15:566
    
      I've make a chocolate candy using cheerio's. The kids loved it.
    I just melted chocolate chips and a little butter in a pan. After it's
    melted turn off the heat and mix as much Cheerio's as possible into
    the chocolate. I then spooned out teaspoon size clumps onto  waxed
    paper to harden in the fridge.

    Perhaps not what you are looking for but fun to make/eat just the same:
    
    
                            CEREAL BALLS
    
    6 cups cripsy corn puff cereal
    1/2 cup raisins
    10 ounce bag spiced gumdrops
    1/4 cup butter
    10 ounce package marshmallows or 4 cups of mini-marshmallows
    
    In a large bowl, combine cereal, raisins and candies.  In a large
    saucepan, melt butter and marshamallows over low heat.  Pour over
    cereal mixture.  Stir quickly.  With WET hands, quickly shape mixture
    into balls and place on waxed paper.  Cool.  Store in tightly covered
    container.
    
    Yields - one dozen

    I would suggest writing to the manufacturer of Cheerios and asking 
    them.  Sounds like one of those recipes from the back of the box.
    I remember something like that.  It was almost a trail-mix type
    dessert.

3158.7shredded wheat and pecansOFOSS1::MICHAUDLisa MichaudThu Dec 29 1994 11:138
    I just had something similar to .0, and would also like the recipe.
    
    Someone here just brought in a delicious mix that was given to her as a
    gift.  It's small shredded wheat squares and pecans, with a sweet
    glazed coating.  Yum!
    
    I'll check the shredded wheat box the next time I'm at the store, but
    if anyone should stumble upon the recipe, please post it here.
