Orange and Chocolate Nut Cluster Cereal
Grain free cereal is pretty easy to make, and very delicious! VERY! Especially when you add
I think my love for a decadent and crunchy cereal started in my halcyon college days in the USA. I dread to think what those delicious concoctions had in them, but this is an all healthy, all yummy, all easy, grain-free replacement. Great for breakfast with yoghurt or milk, straight from the jar as a midnight snack, or on top of ice cream for dessert. Seriously versatile. Seriously simple.
