This was very good and a great change from a plain bowl of cold cereal. I doubled the recipe and took this to the office for our Friday breakfast. For the cereal, I used a mixture of riced krispies, whole wheat chex, cornflakes, and honey nut clusters. We topped it with non-fat plain yogurt. The possibilities are endless and I'll be making this again. Thank you AprilShowers for sharing this recipe.

This is very good and very sweet. The combination possibilities are endless. I halved the recipe, as it was just ds and I. He is four and wouldn't touch it, so guess who got to eat it all. I used peaches and can't wait to try it with other fruits. This time I tried to appeal to ds and I used Apple Jacks with eye popping marshmallows and Rice Crispies. For me I added in Bran Flakes and Cheerios. Can't wait to see what others do with this! Thank You for a great breakfast treat AprilShowers!!!
