- Ingredient in baked goods
Pour the desired amount of cereal into a bowl. Add milk, whether dairy or a plant-based alternative, to soften the pieces and create a breakfast bowl. Some people prefer to eat it dry as a crunchy snack. It can also be crushed and used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, or incorporated into the batter for muffins or cookies to add texture and a subtle sweetness. The frosted coating can melt slightly in liquid, making it a bit softer over time.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the cereal in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent the cereal from becoming stale or absorbing odors from the pantry.
