Using Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut breakfast cereal is made with flakes of corn, honey, three types of sugar, and chopped peanuts. I love how the slice incorporates the sweet caramelised chewy cornflake texture paired with the peanuts and coated in chocolate!
If you’re not a fan of peanuts, try it with classic cornflakes cereal and don’t add the peanuts!
Crunchy Nut cereal has actually been around slightly longer than me (just a tad bit older, don’t look it up haha) I just love the sweet yet slightly salty, peanut flavour, it just hits differently and I have to admit I love just eating it straight out of the bag!
Who remembers the Crunchy Nut Cereal tv ad where the sheriff flushes out all the criminals with the cereal haha – “I’m coming down, I’m coming down too! – such a classic!
