As long as I can remember, Cheerios™ has been there. Whether it be for breakfast or a snack on the road, it has been a staple. Not only do I remember it while growing up, it has been an integral part of my own household. When it was time to introduce new finger foods to my children, what did I choose? Cheerios™. It was easy for them to hold and also traveled well in a bag for trips and visits to places away from home.
Our favorite flavor is Honey Nut and we tend to buy that flavor because there is a hint of sweetness already inside without piling on spoonfuls of sugar. Once the sugar bowl comes out in our house, there is no stopping the scoops. By getting the already sweetened kind, we avoid using too much sugar.
Cheerios™ has introduced a new limited-time promotion where you can buy a box for yourself and give a box to someone else. These special boxes are only available at Walmart, so make sure to check out your local Walmart to find them.
As I pondered who to give my box to, I thought of all the people I know and have been friends with in the past. One particular person came to mind. She is a person my husband worked with when we lived in Flagstaff. She has a young child, and what a perfect time to implement great family moments together, like breakfast around the table! Spending time together as a family is the best part of having children!
The process of the buy a box, give a box is not hard at all! I went to my local Walmart and found the Honey Nut Cheerios ™ display near an endcap. Note: Make sure the special label is on the box. After getting home, I pulled the label off the box to review the details inside. There is a special code that I input here, and I created an e-card to email to a friend. Then, she will click a link inside the email to enter her postal address. She will then receive a VIP coupon in the mail for a free mid-size box of Cheerios ™. Isn’t that a neat program?
Since we are talking about spending time together around the table, I want to share a new family favorite with you! It is so simple to make and wholesome to eat. My son LOVED it!
Ingredients:
- Honey Nut Cheerios ™
- Yogurt – We used vanilla, but you could use any flavor
- Fruit – We used peaches and apple
- Whipped topping – optional
- Sprinkles – optional
We layered Honey Nut Cheerios ™, yogurt, and fruit. Then, we repeated until the jar was full. The kids both squirted on whipped topping, and my daughter added sprinkles on top.
When we were done, each one of us had our own personal creation. I think the kids had as much fun making this treat as they did eating them.
Well, maybe not. My son devoured his right away and proceeded to make another. We had great fun making these treats as a family!
How do you eat your Honey Nut Cheerios ™? Don’t forget to head over to your local Walmart to find the Buy a Box, Give a Box boxes to share with your friends and family!
As you may have heard, some select boxes of Cheerios™ and Honey Nut Cheerios™ produced over two weeks in July at the Lodi, California plant, have been recalled due to a wheat allergen. This recall only affects consumers with Celiac disease or a gluten-sensitivity. To learn more about the recall, and if your product is affected please go to: http://blog.generalmills.com/
What a fun promotion. I know my friends would love a box of Cheerios to make these yummy parfaits with.
What a great promotion from Cheerios! your recipes look delicious!
That sounds like a tasty snack! And great way to surprise a friend with a free box of cheerios too!
We love cheerios in our home! I never thought to be creative with it like you – I’ll have to try this out!
We love Cheerios!! I carry sounds in a little snack pack for my little guy and I find myself always digging in! 🙂
Oh wow I really love your snack you made!! It looks so yummy! My kids love Cheerios – what a great promotion too!
What a great idea, I’ve never heard of a promotion like that before, what a great treat for someone.
I love the “Give a Box” feature! It’s so cool that you can share the goodness of Honey Nut Cheerios while also feeding your family.
What a great idea that is. Cheerios is what my Doctor told me was the only cereal he wanted me to eat when I first found out I was diabetic–luckily I already loved them!
Cheerios were staple for me growing up. In fact, I just had a bowl of it this morning. So good!
Love the combination of cheerios and fruit! A great healthy snack any time of day!
What a tasty treat!!
What a great idea for a snack or breakfast, great job!
We love Cheerios and have a constant supply in the house. I’ve enjoyed mine with fruit on top, but never thought to make it into a parfait style snack. Love it!
What a great idea for a wholesome breakfast! I love how all the different flavors and textures compliment each other so well! #client
I usually just eat them with milk or put them in a snack bag to eat on road trips with my kids. I like the idea of mixing them up with yogurt. i’ll have to try that next time instead of granola.
What a great promotion! And that recipe sounds yummy – my kids would love it.
I love this and I love that Cheerios is doing that promotion. Who doesn’t like free cereal? 🙂
How fun! It’s hard to not love Cheerios and I love this promotion!
YUM! What a fun treat!
I love Cheerios! What a fantastic gift, I’ll be looking for them next time I head shopping. I love the yogurt parfaits going on too – yummy!
Love your cheerio parfaits! my son would have fun with those
What a fun treat idea!
I was looking for new fun breakfasts for the kids and I found one! I’m going to try this with apples and bananas and if they don’t like them, I will eat them ALL! 😀
