Who says you can only have cereal for breakfast?!
These days, there are so many different shapes, colors and flavors of Post cereal out there that you can get super CREATIVE!
You can use them to make all sorts of COOL treats such as these rainbow cereal balls that I made for my little kiddo.
They even have hidden SURPRISES inside them 😉
My little one wanted to BREAK all the balls, just so he could see what I hid inside each of them…hahaha.
I had to keep telling him to wait so I could at least SNAP a few pictures!
These rainbow cereal balls are made with Berry Colossal Crunch cereal.
You can fill them with whatever you like….almonds, dried cranberries and even candies!
And these cereal balls are made with Kung Fu Panda Po Power Crunch cereal.
Their hidden surprise is a little different…
You see…This cereal is made up of cocoa corn puffs and ADORABLE little marshmallow pieces in the shape of pandas and stars.
So, I used the cocoa puffs to make the exterior of the ball and and filled them with those cute marshmallow pieces.
Anyways, kids can enjoy these cereal balls as a snack.
Plus, they would be GREAT for serving at birthday parties!
To make these rainbow cereal balls, you will need the following ingredients:
4 cups cereal (Berry Colossal Crunch OR Kung Fu Panda Po Power Crunch)
20 big marshmallows
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup of add-ins (almonds, dried cranberries, candies e.t.c)
Note:
You can adjust the amount of marshmallows based on your preference. I didn’t want the marshmallows to overpower the cereal. So, this was a good enough amount for me and also easier to handle.
And here are the steps:
Step 1:
Melt butter and marshmallows in a non-stick saucepan.
Step 2:
Add the cereal.
Step 3:
Mix everything with a plastic spoon until you end up with a big marshmallow cereal ball.
Tip:
Spraying the spoon with some oil will prevent the cereal from sticking to it.
Step 4:
Spray your hands with oil.
Take small portions of this marshmallow cereal mixture and fill the center with almonds, dried cranberries or whatever else you like.
Step 5:
Cover the top with some more of the marshmallow cereal mixture.
Use your hands to shape this cluster into a ball.
Step 6:
If you are using Kung Fu Panda Po Power Crunch, only use the cocoa puffs to make the sticky cereal mixture.
Take small portions of this mixture and fill the center the marshmallow pieces.
Step 7:
Cover the top with some more of the cereal mixture.
Use your hands to shape this cluster into a ball.
And you are done!
