Cheerios hit NZ.....

A random thread I know, but i remember a post we had on favourite cereals, and i noticed Cheerios were very popular, well Nestle has brought the product down under, and i have sampled them, and yes they are yummy, not any better than some of our other cereals though, actually the only cheerios we knew in NZ were little red sausages, like cocktail sausages, they are called that here,now i was thinking they would be excellent used in recipes like some kind of museli bar or biscuit slice whatever, so if anyone has some recipes including them please post, thanks. :)

You're just now getting Cheerios down there? Just the regular (bland) kind, or the flavored ones too? My favorite is Honey Nut Cheerios. Here they just released Fruity Cheerios (which are like Fruit Loops but smaller, Cheerio sized). They also have yogurt ones and multi-grain. I can't believe you're just getting them.

I also love the Honey Nut Cheerios. :) I've never tried making anything using Cheerios. I found this site with lots of recipes using Cheerios. I might try a few of them myself.

I love Honey Nut Cheerios! I'll even eat them out of the box with no milk. Makes the perfect low mess office snack.

That's pretty cool to hear that Cheerios are just now coming to stores near you! My favorite kind of cereal is Kashi brand, I like most of the kinds I've tried. Never really liked Cheerios, though. :)

That's my favorite way to eat regular Cheerios, right out of the box. My birds, rodents and dogs like them too.

The Apple Cheerios are good too. My favorite though is the Berry Burst Cheerios.

So far we only have the plain ones, i guess they are going to see how popular they are here, Samantha Puppy, NZ does not necessarily get a lot of American products here, I am suprised to even see them in the store, we do get Oreo cookies, had them for a while, but generally I do not see many american products here, so it's not that we are late getting them, just we dont import much of them. :)

Heat peanut butter and margarine to boiling in 1-quart saucepan, stirring occasionally.
Pour over cereal and pretzels, stirring until evenly coated.
