This easy (but tasty) recipe uses a cupcake or muffin pan to shape these edible ice cream mini bowls, created from Cheerios stirred into a fudgy concoction made with chocolate chips.
Of course, the cereal has to play a starring role, given that this how-to comes from General Mills’ 1980 booklet, “Cheeriodle Cookbook for Kids.” (See more recipes made with Cheerios here!)
