To enjoy as a breakfast cereal, simply pour the desired amount into a bowl and add milk. The cereal will become softer as it absorbs the milk, and you will hear the signature 'snap, crackle, pop.' For making treats, the cereal is typically combined with melted marshmallows and butter. This mixture is then pressed into a pan and allowed to set. The resulting bars are chewy and sweet, making them a popular snack for parties and lunchboxes.
