You always have such great cereal recipes Sharon! This was no exception. I made this yesterday to be enjoyed for breakfast this morning - including the B and B guests, who pass on their compliments! They ate it with milk and yoghurt and I also enjoyed it with cold milk. I added a few extras - some dried bananas, some coconut and also a few raisins. Made as a Magic Fairy Dust recipe for MsSally in the Holiday Tag Game - thanks for your support in the game Shaz!!! FT:-)
