This is the third instalment of the Kellogg’s Cereal Series I set myself. Creating different recipes to make cereal not just for breakfast!
See Part 1 Cornflakes and Part 2 All Bran .
For this instalment I decided to make a different approach on two recipes that are a family favourite during the school holidays – and a different take on breakfast.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and cereal with milk and toast is what we always have. Until now.
On the menu:
Special K Multigrain Oats & Honey Hair
French Vanilla Yoghurt Face
Banana and Raisin Eyes
Strawberry Nose and Hair bow
School holidays are here and two of my favourite treats to bake with the kids are Honey Rice Bubble Slice and Cereal Rocky Road.
Rice Bubble Slice
Ingredients:
125g butter
half a cup of sugar
2 TBSP honey
3 cups Rice Bubbles
1 cup Cocoa Pops
Instructions:
Grease a swiss roll tin and have a large bowl with ricebubbles in it all ready
Mix up honey and sugar and butter into a pot with a solid base and melt – simmer as if making toffee for about 6 minutes– depending on how crunchy you like it, somewhere between soft ball and hard ball stage of toffee.
Pour honey toffee mix over rice bubbles, mix through (as fast as you can as it sets quickly), then quickly pour into greased tin and push down til its about an inch or so thick and firm together and leave to set in the refrigerator.
Cut into squares to serve!
Keep these refrigerated and they last for weeks in the fridge (although in my household usually only a few days if that!)
Cereal Rocky Road
Ingredients:
125 grams soft butter
300 grams chocolate melts
3 tablespoons golden syrup
1 cup your choice of cereal (Rice Bubbles, Special K, All Bran all work really well in this recipe) we used Special K.
200 grams plain biscuits (we used dutch shortbread)
100 grams marshmallows (mini ones work best which I didn’t have on me!)
2 teaspoons icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
Melt butter, chocolate and golden syrup in a saucepan. Scoop out ½ cup of this melted mixture and put to one side.
Smash up biscuits in glad bag – you want bits aswell as crumbs.
Fold the cereal and biscuits into the melted chocolate mixture in the saucepan, and then add the marshmallows.
Pour into a baking tray covered in baking paper and flatten as best you can with a spoon. Pour reserved melted chocolate mixture over the cereal mixture and smooth the top
Refridgerate for minimum of 2 hours before dusting with icing sugar and slicing into squares.
Keep refridgerated.
(This recipe is great for birthday treats and Christmas or just a midnight chocolate feast!)

The rocky road looks awesome!
I don’t know how you managed to continually come up with amazing ideas but I appreciate them. Thanks for the inspiration, the girls have insisted we hit the kellogg isle this morning!! Rachel xx
Love the idea of the cereal rocky road
The Cereal Rocky Road sounds simple and delicious. Thanks for sharing that. I’ll bookmark this page for the next time I ‘get my bake on’.
Oh my gosh I just love that little strawberry bow in the cereal hair. The cereal rocky road looks great too. I might just have to try it.
That rocky road looks so Yum! never thought to try make anything out of the cereal and yoghurt we sometimes have here. Will have to try it over the holidays!
That is so cute Yvette! I’ll it makes cereal more appealing to the young’uns! Have you changed your blog template? Maybe I wasn’t astute enough previously. Anyway, I love it, very pro, well done. xx
Oh yum, my kids would love the face breakfast will have to try
I made some Corn Flake Honey Joys for my little boys birthday on the weekend. I used the recipe on the pack. So good!
That is gorgeous! And as fan of all things red and white polka-dotted, I love your plates too
I love rocky road. Whoever first invented that was so awesome. And using special K obviously means it’s healthy right?
It all comes flooding back – the chocolate crackles, the honey ricebubble biscuits and the cornflake honey biscuits – must try these – i might be able to convince my daughter to eat cereal this way. At the moment it’s toast, crepes or bust.
Oh! Cute!
I love the face! I will definitely be using this one as Miss Money (nearly 3) has become a bit hit and miss at breakfast time! Thanks!
I am pretty sure my kids would LOVE that rice bubble slice! Thanks for the recipe
Nice! great piccies too, I wanna some!!!
