Froot Loops Cookies. These are cookies I made years ago to use up some cereal. I don't usually keep Froot Loops on hand, and probably bought them for nostalgia at the time. Whatever the case, I only used part of the box and the Froot Loops cookies were a way to get rid of them. They were better than expected -- soft, colorful, and they had a nice orange flavor as well. Part of me wants to buy more so I can update this photo. But no. Maybe next time I stay at a hotel with Froot Loops as part of the free breakfast, I'll grab some for the cookies.

Froot Not Fruit Loops

And speaking of orange, did you know that Froot Loops are spelled as Froot rather than Fruit because they actually have no fruit in them? Surprised, right?? I'm just kidding, but thinking back my mother would only buy Apple Jacks and rarely Froot Loops and I'm wondering if it had to do with perceived health benefits of apples. I guess Apple Jacks have enough apple in them to be called Apple Jacks and not Owple Jacks or Appah Jacks.

Orange Icing

The recipe is from Kellogg's. The cookies are actually worth making if you have the cereal. However, the orange icing is even better! Add a little orange or even lemon zest to it to perk it up, then drizzle it on some scones.

    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.
