When it comes to road trip snacks, Jeff knows what works best. He insists that snacks should be exciting and long-lasting. "They need to be fun and out of the box (no pun intended!), and they have to last," he says. Cereal, as it turns out, is the perfect ingredient for such adventures. Jeff's trail mix featuring Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the ultimate example of how cereal can take your snack game to the next level.

But here’s the twist—cereal doesn’t have to be confined to a bowl with milk. "Using cereal as a breading is a fantastic way to repurpose it, adding a unique flavor and texture to dishes like sandwiches or chicken fingers," Jeff explains. His creativity knows no bounds, and he’s eager to share his recipes for Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast, PB&J, and snack mix.
