Winter Wonderland Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Treats – Food Lion® / Box Tops for Education #FoodLionBoxTops

You’ve seen them everywhere, they’re on tons of items that you probably purchase every time you go to Food Lion® and they help your school (or your child’s school) earn cash! What am I talking about? Box Tops for Education, of Course! 

Box Tops for Education get turned into cash and then schools use that cash to buy items that they need for the school year!

I remember cutting out Box Tops for Education from my favorite cereals when I was in middle school and I know so many kids now that are always collecting Box Tops for Education for their schools! 

Wow! Can you imagine what your school could do with $10,000?! That would be amazing!

We don’t have any little ones so I try to spread my Box Tops for Education out to the kids I know that collect them. I’ve got lots of items in my pantry right now that have Box Tops for Education on them and I bet you do as well!

You’re probably use to seeing Box Tops for Education on things like: 

• Cheerios™ Cereal
• Green Giant™ Canned Vegetables
• Mott’s® Juice
• Betty Crocker™ Hamburger, Chicken & Tuna Helpers
• Mott’s® Fruit Flavored Snacks
• and Fiber One™ Bars and Brownies

But did you also know that Box Tops for Education are on “non-food” items like,

• Hefty® BlackOut® Tall Kitchen Drawstring Bags
• Hefty® Deluxe™ Plates and Platter
• Kleenex® Dinner Napkins
• and Hefty® Printed Cups

I always thought that Box Tops for Education were on food items only! I am so happy that I found them on other products that I buy as well!

Now speaking of food items with Box Tops for Educations printed on them, let’s talk about these treats!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cereal happens to be one of those items and lucky for you I used that Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cereal to make you a super sweet, winter wonderland treat! 

Homemade cereal treats were one of my favorite school snacks when I was growing up! I loved to make them with my mom and they always brought a smile to my face when I opened my lunch box to find one of them wrapped up with a sticky note attached to it with a note from mom. 🙂

Back then the cereal treats were pretty much just made with rice cereal. However, I thought that I’d step out of that comfort zone and try something a little different.

The Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cereal mixed with the marshmallow gives these little treats the most amazing cinnamon sugar flavor!  

Winter Break may be ending for a lot of y’all and I just know that these Winter Wonderland Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Treats would make a great addition to those lunch boxes while you’re getting ready to head back to the classroom! 

Don’t forget to clip that Box Top for Education for your school!
