In the confusion from misplacing things in our home due to a
reorganization of belongings, a nearly-full Costco-sized open box
of Cheerios was hidden under something else. Thinking it had been
consumed, we opened a SECOND huge box when my kid announced he
wanted Cheerios for breakfast this morning. Then we discovered the
already-open box.

Both are fresh, but there's no way we'd consume all of those Cheerios
before they go stale, so I'm wondering if there's something creative I
can do. These are plain Cheerios, not honey-nut or other flavor.

So I look online for recipes, and find that the Cheerios website
actually has a page devoted to this: http://www.cheerios.com/recipes

Not much there looks appetizing although some look interesting. Some
seem as if they'd taste like sawdust, like the recipe about grinding
Cheerios into flour to make pancakes (that's just weird, they start
out as flour, and then you grind them back down? why not just
buy some oat flour?). The lemon squares might be good. The pork
meatballs are interesting but not practical if the Cheerios get
disgustingly soggy -- anything I'd make would need to have a short
shelf-life to consume as leftovers.

Has anyone done anything interesting or tasty with Cheerios?

I don't happen to like them myself but I did make a recipe as a kid that was
like Rice Crispy treats that used those instead. When my daughter was in
scouts, they made what they called friendship mix. Each kid brought
something and it was mixed together then portioned out and shared. Very bad
idea as nobody would eat the end result. But you could do something like a
trail mix using only what you like.

Use it for packing material when mailing small items. If you put it in baggies, the person receiving the package can eat it. The important part is that you're sending it far, far, away.

Just put them in a large Ziploc bag, try to squeeze as much air
out as possible and close.

That looks pretty good... but I'd have to buy even more boxes of cereal
to get rid of the excess Cheerios.

Not a bad idea... although our freezer is perpetually full. That
happens when one shops at Costco for a small household. They sell
stuff only in large-size packages, and the freezer fills up quickly.

That is the problem for leftover recipes, not that I'm knocking
them or complaining about them. But What to do with leftover
turkey will generally give you a Lot more food to get rid of.

You're incapable of altering a recipe to use the seasoning on a single

An extra box of Cherrios? What a frivilous problem. Just freeze the
extras or toss them.
The OP is now giving excuses why he can't do this or that. Just like
Julie too....can't freeze them as freezer is full. splat! If that's the
plan, just toss them in the trash, just like Julie would. Good grief.
We're debating about $2 worth of worthless Cherrios. Throw them in the
trash and move one. Get a life. Screw a box of Cherrios...good grief!
:-D Or just buy some extra milk and eat them up for a couple of meals.
Stupid question in the first place.

Wouldn't be as good like that though. I gather that the appeal of such
snacks is the many differing items in there.

I don't know if this is true or not. But someone once told me if I was mad
at someone, to put Cheerios on their lawn right before a rain. Said that
they'd bloat up with water and the only way to remove them was by hand. Just
a thought...

I think birds or animals would eat them after they got wet.

When you're stuck with that amount of Cheerios, you learn to love it
or throw it out.

Or toss the contents of the older box out to feed the birds. I assure
you birds aren't going to be pecking at the windows complaining the
Cheerios are too old.

If I had extra of something like that, I might put a few out to see if the
birds or squirrels would eat them. If they wouldn't, I'd probably just get
rid of them. Cereal is usually cheap.

My wife wanted something to feed the chickens that run wild around here because little kids find that wildly amusing. She took out a baggie of Corn Chex cereal. She later said the chickens weren't much interested. That's rather hard to believe. Anyway, perhaps you'd have more luck with Cheerios.

Why? It isn't food, so why would they be interested.

Might depend on the bird. I have seen both ducks and other wild birds eat
popcorn. But when I put some out for the ducks that live at Olive Garden,
they wouldn't touch it. Neither would the birds or squirrels in my yard.

Throw it wherever you want. Mine would go into the garbage because I
don't want to attract rats, raccoons, possums etc.

Depending on how young your kid is, give them to him for rainy day art
projects. Else I'd just go buy a bag of marshmallows and make Rice Krispie
treats with them.

Baloney, raccoons, possum etc. can be very destructive.

Yes, you are so right. I have used my Havaheart trap for possum, but haven't

Too early to play the Vegemite card? Perhaps. No matter, it's always a good move.

Definitely pointy teeth and hissing. I caught one in my screen porch
years ago. It scared me but it was only scared itself. I let it stay in
my screened porch and fed it for a few days. It mellowed and was
actually quite friendly. lol . I love animals.

Yes they can be destructive. A raccoon dragged Julies cat out of a
screened window and ate it.

All said though, those destructive animals can also be cool. No need to
just kill them if they show up. We humans are way too quick to move into
animal territory and then just kill them if they get in our way. They
were here first, ya know.

It's like salt. A little bit's good, but any more is inedible.
