I wanted to use up some impulsively purchased Froot Loops and made these. They were better than expected — soft, colorful, and they had a nice orange flavor as well. If you’re trying to be thrifty by using leftover cereal, Froot Loops Cookies are worth a try.

Here’s a link to the original version from Kellogg’s. The version below includes weights.

Although it’s only going to get rid of a few, doesn’t that Bears Swimming Pool cake from Woman’s Day have Froot Loops on it? I have a vague recollection of them being life preservers…

Hee, hee, hee, hee. That would totally be something I’d do — make a swimming pool cake to get rid of 6 Froot Loops. Good idea, Sweetnicks. I have to say, I thought the life preservers were made from gummy Life Savers.
