To prepare this cereal, pour a serving into a bowl. Add your preferred amount of milk, whether it is dairy or a non-dairy alternative. The cereal will soften slightly in the milk, absorbing some of the liquid while retaining its crispness for a short period. It can also be eaten directly from the box as a convenient snack. For a different texture, you can crush the flakes and use them as a coating for baked goods or as an ingredient in homemade cereal bars.
