Any recipes using cocoa puffs?!
I am a freshman at LaGrange College. We had a bingo night, in which I won a huge prize. Along with many other random things, I won a large 41 oz bag of Cocoa Puffs. I don't eat cereal in the mornings because I am usually in a rush to get to my 8 AM classes, and neither does my roommate. I wanted to make something for our campus Super Bowl party on Sunday, but there seems to be a shortage of recipes that require large amounts of Cocoa puffs. I have already thought about trail mix, but that's too boring. Does anyone have any hidden recipes that they would like to share. I would hate to have this huge bag of cereal go to waste. Also, I only have access to a fridge and a microwave.
Thanks! :)

Make Rice Krispie squares using Cocoa Puffs instead
By the way, I don't eat cereal for breakfast, but it's a great, quick lunch ... if you're out of beer

Congratulations! I vote with Tom and ndgirl. I made rice krispy treats with all sorts of things over Christmas. I added dried fruit to them, used different cereals, etc. Go for it and you are going to be a hit at the superbowl party. Now you just need a large amount of marshmallows!
