Take Time to Celebrate with General Mills

Take time out your busy schedule to celebrate loved ones, like dad for example! In celebration of Father's Day, General Mills sent us a few cereal samples and other goodies to help us get the celebration underway. Unfortunately my husbands schedule was swamped and we had to postpone our celebration until this last weekend. Although our celebration was put off for a while, we were still able to have a fun and delicious celebration thanks to General Mills.

General Mills is a household brand and, though you may not realize it, they stretch far beyond just cereal. They work hard to give you the best products all around, including ones like fruit, ice cream, pasta, pizza, soups, vegetables, and snacks. Lately, they've been at work to bring you the absolute best cereal, they have been removing artificial flavors and artificial colors, and now more than 80% of their cereals are free from such ingredients. For our -After- Father's Day Celebration, General Mills was kind enough to offer up some recipes that featured some of our favorite cereals. It didn't take me long to figure out that their S'mores pizza was meant for our family. My favorite cereal happens to be Golden Grahams, the very cereal in the recipe as both the crust and a topping. Along with that, our family is no stranger to a bonfire, but temperatures (even after sundown) have kept us indoors lately. Passing up an opportunity for a s'more wasn't an option, and who can say no to pizza?! 

 

Here's a picture of my outcome, and the recipe so you can enjoy it for yourself.

Golden Grahams S'mores Pizza Squares

5 1/2 cups Golden Grahams cereal

1/3 cup butter, melted

1/3 cup creamy almond butter

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg white

1 3/4 cups milk chocolate chips

2 cups mini marshmallows

2 bars (1.55oz each) milk chocolate candy, broken into pieces

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375. Line 15x10x1-inch baking pan with cooking parchment paper, folding edges if necessary.
2. Using food processor, finely crush 5 cups of the cereal. In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, almond butter, brown sugar, and egg white until well blended. Stir in crushed cereal until mixed well. Pour cereal mixture in pan; spread evenly, and press firmly against bottom of pan. Bake 11 minutes.
3. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips, and return to oven 1 minute. Remove from oven, and carefully spread melted chocolate chips on top of crust. Top with marshmallows, and return to oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until marshmallows begin to soften (I let mine get a little golden before I removed them). Remove from oven, and top with remaining 1/2 cup of cereal. Let cool for 5 minutes, and top with chocolate candy bar pieces.
4. In a small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips, uncovered on high 45 to 55 seconds, stirring until smooth, drizzle melted chocolate on top. using a pizza cutter sprayed with cooking spray, cut 5 rows by three rows.

Makes 15 servings, Prep Time 20 mins, Start to Finish 45 mins, enjoy warm or room temperature. I also wouldn't store past 24 hours, we ate some the next day and it wasn't the same.
