It's almost time for a major grocery shopping so we have very little, if any, prepared food in the house. (This makes some members of my family grumpy!) So I went looking for something to make using the leftover frosted flakes and found this. I love that it uses normal pantry items. Super easy to make. I cooked in a large pot and just added the cereal to the pot. Then spread into a large pan. Really peanut-buttery and good. -
That is yummy! I added some chocolate to the flavor using 1/3 cocoa pebbles to the frosted flakes and mini chocolate chips spread on top. Thanks for sharing!

I'm a nurse and married over 25 years with 2 sons. I'm "Mrs.Hoops" because my husband and sons are basketball fanatics. It has become a family tradition that with every "big game", I make their favorite treats--buffalo wings, pizza, mozz. cheese sticks, etc. They've enjoyed those evenings so well that now they have decided to expand it to include the Superbowl, World Series, and any other big sporting event. Now that the boys are older, even their girlfriends look forward to the big games at our house.
