I used my favorite cereal to create a heart healthy recipe. These chocolate cereal and nut crisps are filled with oat clusters, muesli, grains and nuts. They are perfect for breakfast and a quick afternoon snack.

Happy Monday!!

I hope you guys had a great weekend. I finally feel back to normal after a week of a miserable cold. I spent the weekend trying to catch up on some baking and house cleaning. We did however have a great Valentine’s day dinner at home on Friday and we went to a comedy show on Saturday which was really fun. What did you guys do this weekend? Anything fun?

Getting back on my feet, I am rebuilding my breakfast for the busy weeks coming up. For me, that means re-fueling with lots of grains, nuts and of course a little bit of chocolate. I created these chocolate cereal and nut crisps using my favorite cereal; Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. I added in some muesli, my favorite nuts and a few dried fruits I had on hand. I had to add some dark chocolate for a little indulgence.

I love how customizable these crips are. Feel free to substitute your favorite grains in here as well as your favorites nuts. I love pistachios as they always bring a great sweet and salty combo when mixed with chocolate. These chocolate cereal and nut crisps are very filling with the oat clusters from Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, the muesli and all those nuts. They are perfect for breakfast as I enjoyed a few crumbles with some milk and they will also be great for a quick afternoon snack.
