- As a topping
To prepare this cereal for eating, pour a serving into a bowl. Add cold milk over the cereal until it is covered to your liking. Allow it to sit for a moment to soften slightly, or enjoy it immediately for maximum crunch. Some people prefer to add fruit or other toppings to their cereal. It can also be eaten dry directly from the box as a convenient snack. The texture holds up well in milk for a short period.
