How many boxes of open cereal are in your cupboard right now? If you have kids, I’m sure you have more than one! We have five, and that’s pretty average. Because in our house, we all like something different, and we all like to have a choice or two available. The dilemma is, when you want to keep your daily flavors fresh, how do you make sure it all gets eaten while it’s still fresh?
Kelloggs.com/GreatStartsTips has you covered with today’s #Great Starts tip: Bottom of the Box Recipes. I needed an idea to use up the last bit of our Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal, and found the recipe for these Apple and Spice cookies.
They were a huge hit, and I always love baking when it’s cold out. This crazy Michigan snow had us indoors all weekend (except to run the snowblower) and it’s always cozy to fill your house with wonderful smells and the warmth from the oven on a day like that. And yes, that is about 14 inches of snow on our deck in the background, there. Brrr.
here are lots of recipes on the Tips For a Great Start site available to try out using almost any amount of Kellogg’s cereals. Bottom of the Box recipes ensure that food doesn’t go to waste, and it keeps variety in your family’s meals and snacks. (Plus, you won’t have to hear “Mom, there’s nothing to eeeeat!”) There are recipes for both snacks and hearty main course dishes using the cereals you already have in your cupboard.

Oh, YUM! That sounds SO good…can I have a few of those right now? Such a genius idea for all those leftover crumbs too!
cereal in a cookie? Who knew? I’ll have to give it a try!
How great! I am forever finding small amounts of cereal left at the bottom of the boxes! Your cookies look really good too, I wouldn’t guess they have Rice Crispys in them
Great recipes! They all sound so good. Makes me want to stock up on cereal:) Thanks for sharing.
I love this concept- boxes of cereal sit for WAY to long in our pantry for sure and end up just getting tossed usually. I need to really wrap my head around the idea of cereal as an ingredient- could be super helpful lots of nights when it comes to dinner!
We always have several boxes with just a handful or so of cereal, I never think to use it all as a snack or in a recipe. Thank you for the tip!!
Brilliant!!! I always throw out the tiny bit that always seems to be left over! Thanks for sharing!
Those cookies look great and I never would have guessed they used cereal! How smart!
Those cookies look so good! What a smart idea to use cereal!! Thanks for sharing!
Adrianne, I MUST check out the bottom of the boxes for some great recipes. Your cookies look absolutely delicious on a cold snowy day!
I LOVE the bottom of the box concept! Other than saving corn flakes for coating chicken or to use as a topping on casseroles, I would never have thought to make anything else. And those cookies look so good.
I’m on my way to their website to check out the recipes! Thanks for sharing.
