When the cereal’s done but that shiny, off-white milk puddle remains, it’s time to drop the spoon, grab the bowl, and tilt back like there’s no tomorrow. It’s espresso for kids, it’s breakfast dessert, and it’s completely and totally
AWESOME!

Maybe I’m odd but I eat my cereal dry with a glass of milk on the side. I’ve just never liked my cereal wet.

Whenever I hear the phrase “milk and honey” I always imagine the taste of that last bit of leftover milk the honey nut cheerios have been soaking in.

Definitely a guilty pleasure! Absolutely wonderful and very delicious!

I like to give the leftover milk to my cat. 90% of the time he drinks water.

Yum..! You know “they” (whoever they are) are trying to take this guilty pleasure away by creating bowls with straws built in, so you don’t have to lift the bowl?!? Damn people are getting lazy.! (i guess it could also be so kids don’t spill it… but whatever)

Breakfast dessert is awesome! A couple of summers ago my husband’s family got together for a week at the Grand Hotel on Mackinack island in Michigan. The food there is incredible, and inclusive. The best part about breakfast was the tray of beautiful little pastries on each table. We had to call it “breakfast dessert” so the kids wouldn’t just immediately dive in. Back home again, we definitely missed Breakfast Dessert.

It is delicious when you use chocolate milk!

Growing up, my mom wouldn’t allow us to have presweetened cereal, but she would let us put a little sugar on our low-sugar brands. (What the difference was, I don’t know.) When she wasn’t looking, I loved to add a spoonful more, just so I’d have some sweet sludge to slurp down at the end. Yummy!

Cereal is my life. I eat at least two or three bowls a day–one in the morning, one when I get home, and sometimes one before bed. It’s crazy, but I’m not dead (or fat) yet!

This is also good with the cereals that turn the milk chocolate.

Especially if it’s brown sugar.

Not a fan of the milk … I dump it.

So true! I would (and actually still do) lick the bottom of the bowl so that there’s no sugary milk or cereal sediment left.

Cocoa Puffs were the BEST for this! :-D
… Cocoa Krispies weren’t bad, either …

I don’t eat cereal much anymore, but when I did, I would eat all the bits out of Lucky Charms and have a milky marshmallowy cereal at the end. then I’d drink the old sugary milk, and get fresh cold milk for my marshmallow cereal. OMG marshmallow cereal and cold milk is beyond awesome.
