Why I love Malt-O-Meal.

I realize that some, perhaps many, of you will find this disgusting and maybe disturbing. Especially if you don't love Malt-O-Meal.

Ellen asked me for cereal for a snack last week. She specifically wanted Malt-O-Meal. So we made it and while we were waiting for it to cool in the refrigerator, we went on to other activities.

When we remembered the snack, I found the bowl of Malt-O-Meal perfectly cooled. And in a solid form. It came right out of the bowl onto a plate, like Jell-0. Right out of the heart-shaped princess bowl.



Ellen had already begun tasting the yummy goodness. Sorry about my laundry in the background. It's solid, so it doesn't drip when you spoon it into your mouth. It's cold, so it doesn't burn your tongue. You can even cut it into squares and eat it with your fingers without too much mess.


And you can feed your baby brother on a picnic blanket in the living room without making a mess. And it's not candy, popsicles, Dora cinnamon stars sugared cereal, jelly, or sugary in any way. We like our Malt-O-Meal with a dash of salt and some butter. Or Smart Balance. Whatever we have handy.

Yum!
