Blueberry Vanilla Monster Cereal Treats Recipes

BLUEBERRY STUDDED BOO BERRY CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
• In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir with a non-stick spatula until everything is combined and melted. Remove from the heat.
• Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and dried blueberries, folding to combine.
• Pour into the prepared pan and flatten using a spatula. The mixture will be sticky - you might want to also spray your hands with a bit of the nonstick spray.
• To make the glaze:
• In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon of the glaze and the vanilla extract.
• Whisk to combine. Add more water as needed to get to the perfect drizzling consistency.
• Drizzle the glaze over the bars and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Let set for about an hour or two.
• Cut into bars and serve.
• Enjoy!

HONEY-NUT CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with enough foil so that there's a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with butter.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and honey and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the almond butter and vanilla. Add the whole oat cereal, puffed wheat cereal and 1 cup of the chopped mixed nuts. Stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape up the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped nuts on top and press into the top (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Cut into 24 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

MONSTER OPERATION

Steps:

• Cover a large table with a shower curtain. To make the monster's body, arrange vegetables and other foods on the large table to resemble a skeleton. For arms and legs, use zucchini sliced length-wise. Use the turnip cut in halves for kneecaps. Use toothpicks to pin a celery rib cage together. Secure dried apricot toes to celery feet. Attach corn kernel fingernails to sliced hot dog fingers. Just below the rib cage, pile cooked ramen noodles as small intestines and veins, and pile rope licorice for the large intestines. Place prepared Jell-O gelatin as the guts, water chestnuts as gallstones and a chunk of ham for the heart. Cover the cauliflower with some prepared Jell-O gelatin for the brain and use 2 canned mushroom caps for the eyes. When the skeleton is in place, cover with another shower curtain. Cut slits in the curtain so the children can reach in and touch the organs without being able to see them through the shower curtain. The children can guess what the organs are.

ORANGE GELATINE MONSTER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, soften the gelatin by stirring it into 1/2 cup of the orange juice. Set aside. In a small saucepan, boil 11/2 cups of the juice and the sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the juice over the gelatin and stir to dissolve. Mix in the remaining 2 cups of juice. Let cool completely. Pour into a 4 1/2cup mold or 4 individual serving glasses. Drop blackberries into the gelatin. Chill for 4 hours until set. Pour enough oil into a saucepan to come up the side of the pan 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350 degrees. Drop the noodles into the oil for 10 seconds. Drain the noodles.
• Top gelatin with the noodles.

MONSTER CEREAL SNACK MIX

Steps:

• In large microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips uncovered on High 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Stir in oil.
• Gently stir in cereal until evenly coated.
• Spread on waxed paper or foil; top with Halloween sprinkles. Cool until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Break into chunks. Store loosely covered.

BLUEBERRY-VANILLA BREAKFAST CEREAL WITH YOGURT AND BLUEBERRY PRESERVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• In a large bowl, toss the oats, flour, brown sugar and salt until well mixed.
• Whisk the maple syrup, honey and vanilla seeds into the melted butter. Scrape the butter mixture into the bowl with the oat mixture and, using a rubber spatula, mix until the oats are evenly coated. Spread the oats in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the cereal for about 20 minutes, stirring two or three times, until golden and almost dry. Stir in the blueberries and bake for 5 minutes more. Let the cereal cool completely, stirring occasionally to break up the clumps, before serving.
• Spoon some yogurt into bowls. Top with some cereal and jam and serve.
