Have you ever tried Reese's Puffs Cereal? They are cocoa and peanut butter crunchy cereal balls and they are incredibly tasty 😋

Well, if you have never tried it or you can't find it in your grocery store today I'm sharing a super easy way to make your own!! It's not my recipe but I made Baked Ambrosia's recipe and it turned out super delicious so I had to share it here too!!

RECIPE NOTES:

• You can use fresh eggs if you want of course, I bought the egg whites because I didn't want to deal with leftover yolks.

• You can make almond meal from almonds with the skin on. Put them in a food processor and turn them into powder.

• You can make 5-6 portions of cereal with this recipe. The portion looks small but this cereal is very filling, trust me.
