Hello all,

I bought a box of Honey Smacks that had Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) on the box with the frog mascot, because it came with a light-up lightsaber spoon! It’s actually pretty cool, a plastic spoon which attaches to a lightsaber base with a black on/off switch and a red button, which causes the spoon to light up. There doesn’t seem to be any way to replace the battery, so I will have to use it sparingly. I presume the three colors the box mentions are red, blue, and green. I got a red one–I guess I chose the Dark Side at some point. (Wouldn’t surprise me.) I never eat breakfast cereal, but my lightsaber spoon is totally rad… probably the only Star Wars merchandise I’ll break down and get, unless I can find the Episode III Pez dispensers.

ANYWAY… the point of my thread is that now I have a big box of Honey Smacks, and I was wondering if anyone eats these, or has any interesting recipes for them. They’re not that sweet or even terribly crispy, and I don’t like how cereal gets soggy in milk. Can I make “Honey Smacks Treats” like Rice Krispies Treats? Some kind of trail mix? Anything interesting at all?

You might want to try [Smacks Crackle](http://www.cereal.com/Breakfast-Cereals/smacks.htm). It sounds edible.

Honey Smacks in one ofmy favorite cereals to scarf by the handful. Doesn’t do as well in milk…but straight out of the box, yum.

I remember when these were Sugar Smacks. There was also Super Sugar Crisps, now they’re Super Golden Crisps. _sigh_ Sugar wasn’y always a bad word.

I don’t see why Honey Smacks Treats wouldn’t work. But the trick to eating cereal that gets soggy fast is to just put a small amount in the bowl at a time.

Now I am tempted to buy some for a lightsaber spoon.
