Cornflake Cookies

Cornflake cookies.  Have you heard of these? My Mom made these cookies all the time when I was growing up and they were always one of my favorites.  The irresistible crunchiness of the cereal in them is incredibly appealing to a kid, but when I recently tested a batch and served them…

Honey Peanut Cereal Bars

I have kids. Ere go, I have purchased an alarming number of boxes of little ‘0’ cereal made of oats, such as Cheerios or something similar.  Cereal that shows up in my couch cushions, on the bottom of my purse, and in my laundry.  This kind of cereal is always around so…
