Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes

I’m pretty sure my mom avoided taking us with her to the grocery store at all cost. I have very few memories of grocery shopping with her growing up; personally I wouldn’t want to shop with four kids. We didn’t get much choice with breakfast cereal or any other foods. We ate whatever she picked up, but my great grandmother was different. What are grandmother’s good at? She spoiled us by letting us pick what we wanted and she would put it on her grocery list. My cousin and I loved Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and it’s now a favorite of my own son. He especially loves them now because they contain Skylanders Skystone card game sets. He and I created these Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes while he “taught” me more about Skylanders.

These cupcakes are so much fun to make. The cupcake batter is loaded with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and the light cream cheese whipped cream frosting is rolled in crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch. This is definitely a recipe that your kids can help you make. If you don’t feel like making the cake entirely from scratch, you can use your favorite boxed yellow cake mix and just add in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.

Gabe has been scavenging our specially-marked Big G cereal boxes looking for the Skylanders Skystone card game sets. He likes to match the cards with the Skylanders in his book, and we read about each one together. I love how imaginative he becomes talking about the powers and weaknesses of each Skylander. The game sets include a pack of 10 Skylanders Skystone game cards and board that can be cut from the back of the cereal box. He loved how it paired with the Skylanders toys that he already had.

If your child loves Skylanders make sure you look for participating Big G cereals with specially-marked boxes, including: Reese’s Puffs, Fruity Cheerios, Frosted Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cookie Crisp, Lucky Charms, Trix, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. There are four card game sets in total, and they also include a code to unlock characters in the mobile Skylanders game. Make sure you check out future offers and prizes in General Mills cereals the rest of the year.

  7. I look after a vape shop submission site and we have had a posting from a vape shop in the USA that likewise advertises CBD products. A Calendar month later on, PayPal has contacted use to claim that our account has been limited and have asked us to take out PayPal as a payment solution from our vape store website directory. We do not retail CBD items like CBD oil. We solely provide advertising and marketing professional services to CBD companies. I have had a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Reputable Health and wellness Merchant and if you take a good look, you will witness that they offer a surprisingly considerable stable of CBD products, particularly CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement solution. It seems that PayPal is administering contradictory standards to many different companies. As a result of this restriction, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related online site. This has restrained my payment options and right now, I am seriously contingent on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have gotten in touch with a barrister from a Magic Circle law practice in The city of london and they explained that what PayPal is doing is absolutely illegal and discriminatory as it ought to be applying a systematic standard to all companies. I am yet to consult yet another lawyer from a US law office in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. In the meantime, I would be very appreciative if anyone here at targetdomain could provide me with alternative payment processors/merchants that work with CBD companies.
