To prepare this cereal for eating, pour a serving into a bowl. Add milk, such as dairy milk or a plant-based alternative. The milk softens the cereal and marshmallows, making them easier to chew. Some people prefer to eat it dry as a snack. It can also be used as a crunchy component in homemade cereal bars or as a sweet topping for desserts like ice cream or pudding. The marshmallows will soften and become chewy when exposed to liquid.
