You forgot the salt!!!???!! You have to put salt on it. That makes it both a (very) little sweet and salty. This recipe came from the homemade cheerios snack mix. You would add pretzels, peanuts, worcestershire sauce and such and bake in the oven. I used to make fried cheerios in college over 30 years ago. It won't touch your blood sugar too much but WILL affect your cholesterol!! It's a great occasional snack and SO good!
I remember when the directions were on the side of the Cheerios boxes. These are good. I like adding (after they're done) a touch of Jane's Crazy Mixed-Up Salt, or a little drib of garlic powder or else some chili powder. I've seen people mix a little cinnamon and sugar with em too. I use a little less butter, more like just enough to coat the cheerios pieces a little.
so for everyone who is saying that it highers your cholesterol, people eat toast (with butter) with their cereal a lot of the time, and this is cutting out that starch, plus its cutting out the sugar that some people put on their cheerios as well... although frying them with sugar would be delicious too! mmmm. i'm going to try that.
I made this with my cousins when we were kids cuz they said it tasted a lot like popcorn and it did! And no nasty popcorn kernels stuck in your teeth at the end of it. We had fun!
lol it IS unhealthy, but looks so tasty.. I wouldn't use butter though, it has evil fats (saturated or unsaturated, idk which is evil-er) that I suppose the body keeps? not much idea about that, I wish i paid attention to class last year xD
I'd use margarine. much better than butter, though I have to say butter is tastier..
I'm going to do you one better. Fried macaroni noodles. First boil the noodles, then dump rgem into a pan with loads of butter and salt and pepper. Cook until some are crunchy and some are still soft. Bon Apetite!
Can't believe I saw this. My Dad taught me how to make fried Cherrios when I was 8. Now I'm pretty good at it, I can do a whole box and everyone that has tried them has begged me to teach them. I have found that adding melted butter to the warmed pot of cherrios works much better. Oh Ya! And don't forget the salt! Alot of it!! How did you find out about this "popcorn" alternative?
It's funny how the people who rag on others about eating unhealthy foods are watching these videos in the 1st place. Did they search "deep fried cheerios" by mistake? Or do they just feel the need to "act" healthy online while stuffing their fat faces in front of their screens?
as gross as it sounds, I once put a flaky cereal in a blender once, ground it up then poured milk on it. I hate choking on corn flakes early in the morning. oh boy! I just cut my esophagus at 6:30 in the morning with overly sharp cereal! I can almost breathe!
Wow!! These have been in my family for at least seventy years! My Auntie Lil made them for her kids and my mother made them for me. I make them in a omelet pan with enough butter to coat the pan and pour in a bowl full of Cheerios. I shake the pan, moving each Cheerio until it is golden brown. After they are done, I put them back in the bowl and salt them. Try it with ice cold Nestle's chocolate milk. Delicious!
ok you got me wondering about these so I went and made some...they're so good! And I just added a sprinling of powdered sugar and cinnamon and it's great for a sweet craving! Thanks!
Okay Luka! Are you sure you aren't from Texas. At our state fair every year we have some new ridiculous fried something! : ) If fact, you should definitely copyright this wacky recipe before the Texas State Fair Officials get 'hold of it! : ) It does sound remarkably good! : )
lol nope. born in Kansas, raised in Missouri, now reside in Florida. :-) Been to Texas, once, maybe twice ;-) us Midwesterners love a good fried dish too ;-)
i dunno actually baybea. i've never tried to add anything to this - except when I was feeling particularly buttery, I'd add more melted butter to the top. mmmmm :-)
Secret recipies... I know this one a girl in Chicago gave me in School.. it was just "coolwhip" (what is in that stuff anyway???) and just some "nestlie quick, chocholate flavour"... none of which are available here.. but I did try it just once.. that is serious DEPRESSION food, for one of those times where you want to either drink too much or eat too much sugar and fat! ;)
most people never have. it's a treat my couins told me about. we're the only three I've known to make them. :-) now I'm sharing this "secret recipe" with the whole wide internets ;-)
Ok yes i admit it, they looked good, but how did you even think of frying cheerios in butter? I mean it would never have crossed my mind to do that! LOL!
I've eaten literally tons of Cheerios over the course of my life and I've never ever thought about frying them up like this - does this work for Rice Krispies too? :)
This can't exactly be healthy..but guess what: I'll see who finishes the race of life.. I've got a head start to the finish line of about 10 years, (I am much older than you are!!!) and I've had menigitis and then pnuemonia which caused my asthma...(thus the story why I can't donate blood anymore :( do you think I have a chance at finishing the race at least 20 years before you as I suspected or not? Sorry about the morbidity.. ;) its nearly halloween.. the grave is always a good topic!
