It’s Probably Not PC to Call Something "The Best White Trash Snack"

by This is Carrie on January 29, 2009

But I can’t think of any other way to describe my FAVORITE snack — Fried Cheerios.
1. Melt butter in a frypan (about 1 T per cup of cheerios)
2. Add Cheerios and saute until golden brown
3. Add salt to taste.

Don’t knock it ’til you try it.

tamrobot January 29, 2009 at 6:04 pm: I make these every once in awhile, and I always think of you.

I’ve also made fried Rice/Corn Chex. Very Tasty.
dandelionmama January 29, 2009 at 6:55 pm: Oh my gosh! We always to that with KIX- my grandma taught us how! I thought we were the only ones in the world…
Vone January 29, 2009 at 7:28 pm: Hilarious – but it does sound kinda yummy. I have tons of Cheerios around maybe I’ll try it.
Who needs sleep? January 29, 2009 at 9:02 pm: You’ve got me interested. I think I’ll go try it.
Kathi D January 29, 2009 at 9:33 pm: Oh, and when I say “we” I mean my white trash family growing up!
Kathi D January 29, 2009 at 9:34 pm: I think my first comment got lost. I said we used to make that with cheerios, chex, and I forget what else, and now that you reminded me I am going to make some! They sell a facsimile of it in a bag but it has never been the same.
Mama Krit January 29, 2009 at 11:01 pm: Ok, that sounds so delish! Dandilion mama has a great idea too, I bet that would be awesome with KIX. Now lets see, what else can I deep fry???
This is Carrie January 29, 2009 at 11:04 pm: Mmmm Kix. I can’t wait to try it.

My kids love this snack, but the reality is I usually make it at night when all the kids are in bed so I can have the whole bowl to myself :).

Mama Krit is right though, frying makes everything better.
Kage January 30, 2009 at 2:31 am: How long have you been indulging in this WTS?
This is Carrie January 30, 2009 at 2:33 am: since I was a small child. Did I never make this for you? I was probably too embarrassed.
Julie February 4, 2009 at 11:39 pm: I’m betting this won’t help lower my cholesterol like plain Cheerios will….
tchris May 3, 2009 at 6:10 am: OMG! That is too funny! My DH introduced this to me when we first started dating and I LOVED it! We’ve sinced moved onto the Honey Nut Cheerios. Our 2 girls love it too. 🙂 Too Funny!
Monica May 12, 2009 at 7:09 am: I thought I was the only one who ate fried Cheerios. They are the bomb! So good. Better than Chex mix.
The Rudy Family August 27, 2009 at 7:56 pm: Oh I am not afraid to be white trash! I can't wait to try these. Just visiting from an RT on twitter by 5M4M.
CraftyMomof3 August 28, 2009 at 7:01 pm: What a great idea! I am sooo trying it!
