12 Delicious Ways to Eat Cereal for Dessert

August 5, 2015 by jessfuel 6 Comments

Cereal. It’s what’s for breakfast, right? Well, sometimes.

12 Delicious Cereal Desserts

When I was a kid, I wasn’t allowed to eat any of the fun cereals for breakfast. I specifically remember the number– 13. My mom considered any cereal with 13 grams of sugar or more per serving as dessert only. Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms– all the good ones– we only ate for dessert.

Did you know Corn Pops were originally called Sugar Pops? And Honey Smacks were originally Sugar Smacks.

My point is… cereal is sweet. It’s full of sugar. And therefore… it makes an amazing dessert ingredient.

Here are 12 fun ways to use cereal in your desserts!

    What a sad, sugary cereal less, childhood you had! I still love that stuff, my boyfriend makes fun of me for it! But I say there is no shame there!
