Blueberry Vanilla Monster Cereal Treats Food

SHARK HEAD CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Coat two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper; spray the parchment. Divide the butter and salt between two separate pots and melt over medium heat. Add half the marshmallows to each pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted. Remove from the heat and stir 1/2 teaspoon vanilla into each pot. Stir the blue and black food coloring into one pot to tint the marshmallows dark blue. Stir 3 cups cereal into each pot until coated.
• Coat your hands with cooking spray. Working quickly, divide the blue cereal mixture evenly between the two pans and form into a compact 1 1/2-inch-wide ring around the edges. Use the plain cereal mixture to fill in the center of each pan, packing it tightly. Let harden slightly, about 15 minutes, then turn out onto a cutting board. Cut each round into quarters.
• Put the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Snip off a corner and pipe a white mouth onto each treat. Let harden, about 15 minutes. Melt the red candy melts in the microwave. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a separate bag and snip off a corner; pipe a zigzag on top of the white candy. Let harden. Press a chocolate chip into each treat for the eye.

BLUEBERRY-VANILLA BREAKFAST CEREAL WITH YOGURT AND BLUEBERRY PRESERVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• In a large bowl, toss the oats, flour, brown sugar and salt until well mixed.
• Whisk the maple syrup, honey and vanilla seeds into the melted butter. Scrape the butter mixture into the bowl with the oat mixture and, using a rubber spatula, mix until the oats are evenly coated. Spread the oats in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the cereal for about 20 minutes, stirring two or three times, until golden and almost dry. Stir in the blueberries and bake for 5 minutes more. Let the cereal cool completely, stirring occasionally to break up the clumps, before serving.
• Spoon some yogurt into bowls. Top with some cereal and jam and serve.
