Cheerios laddu is a quick snacks prepared with Cheerios. For Cheerios lover is one tasty after school snack. No cook cereal balls is perfect for sudden sweet desire.
I wanted to post this recipe before Christmas, but we visited my husband's cousin family for Chirtmas and I missed 🙂 It was super fun, 3 days just flew by - whole day chit chats, yummy food from my Co-sis, shopping, "Everybody loves Raymond" from Netflix, mid-night ice cream, phase 10 game - oh man I wish we take frequent holidays like this.
Kids enjoyed the holiday in their way. Played together for sometime, fought for the same toy, ran around the house and as always refused to eat food. Making the kids eat food is every mom's biggest challenge.
Growing up, my favorite breakfast was idli, dosa, upma, Gradually it expanded it bread, oats and cornflakes. My son's preference is just the reverse. I am glad still dosai and upma are in his wish list.
Couple of months ago I prepared Maladu for him, but I can't resist my desire for sweets so whenever he offered me some portion I happily accepted 😉 He asked for laddu and I had empty box, felt very bad so wanted to make a quick Cheerios laddu. That's when this Cornflakes Ball got a place in my kitchen.
Usually I go for white/brown sugar, dates, jaggery for sweetness but to make it quick I choose a syrup. It is not only a instant Cheerios laddu for my kid, but even we liked it. No cooking required for this cherrios laddu.
