I have fond childhood memories of Rice Crispy Treats. This is a spin on that recipe. I thought it would be yummy to try it with Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereals. It turned out to be a big hit at our house...we had seconds!

Ingredients:
3 tbs. butter
1 bag of regular marshmallows
2 1/2 cups of Apple Jacks
2 1/2 cups of Froot Loops
1 cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Spray 9x12 baking pan with cooking spray. Melt butter in a pot on medium heat then add marshmallows, melt until smooth. Remove from heat and pour cereal into pot stirring until cereal is evenly covered. Pour mixture into baking pan. To prevent sticking spray spatula with cooking spray then press mixture evenly into dish. Allow to cool and cut into squares.

Making Applesauce

For two weeks our theme is apples. For science this week we decided to make applesauce. Since Meara LOVES to cook this was exciting for us!

When it was all finished the taste test proved that it was delicious. Although, it wasn't like Mott's applesauce in texture or color but I think it was more tasty!

Crock Pot Applesauce

Take ten large apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks. Put them in a crock pot along with 1/2 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 3/4 cup sugar. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 8-10 hours. Take a potatoe masher and mash. This can be eaten warm or cold. Refrigerate the remaining sauce.
