On top of that,a box of cereal from wholesale store(BJ's) usually comes in twin packets.Actually, the cereal is for Mishu  but she refused to have cereal for breakfast,said no time in the morning or rather have grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast.She not a cereal person either am I.Instead of trashing away all my open box cereal,I used it for my Christmas cookies.This recipe is really good and easy to follow.Most of the people we gave this cookies said this cereal cookies taste delicious!!
