UmmmMmmm...yummy! DH and I enjoy having hot cooked cereal for breakfast in the mornings, but sometimes they get to be humdrum. This certainly was not that! Although it took a little more effort than plain jane cereal, it was worth every bit of it. The only thing I will do differently the next time is to cook it on the stovetop, rather than in the microwave as we just don't care for cereal cooked in the microwave as well as on the stovetop, but we sure do like to use milk to replace the water! I suspect this would also be good in oatmeal, cream of rice and probably even malt-o-meal (my favorite!). Thank you for a great idea Michelle.

My husband likes Cream of Wheat and I am not to fond of it so I am always looking for ways to prepare it so we both like it. This was a good one. The topping made this dish for me. I gave it 5 stars because it made cream of wheat taste good to me. Thanks Michelle S. Bullwinkle.

This was really yummy and I don't even like cream of wheat! I used maple and brown sugar cream of wheat. I didn't have any nuts, so I just made the caramel and then added bananas to the cereal. Even tho I messed the whole thing up, it was still delicious! I over cooked the caramel and ended up with a big piece of candy in my bowl, but I just chopped it up and ate it. lol Thanks for the recipe, it made a tasty and fun morning!
